[SunHELP] script request!

[Edward Chase]

Cool... I have a similar need and was going to write a perl script to do 
it... but this may be easier...

I have a file that I need to remove some stuff from...

I need to replace each instance of **1234 with nothing.  The 1234 could be 
any number.

Not all lines have this in it...
