I assume you're beyond using a simple sed command.  :-)

What happens if the original string is a substring of something in the
processing table?

Suppose I have lines that read:

	lookup george  k=2 i=a -nx
	lookup georgetown k=4 i-c -nx

and I ask to change "george" to "york".

Will "georgetown" morph to "yorktown"?  Or must the original string be
surrounded by a pair of spaces or a pair of quotes or parentheses?
