You did specifically write in your post that you could use sed which
suggests that you had it on your system.

If that is not, in fact, the case you could get it from Duncan
Murdoch's Rtools distribution:
http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/
which you would need in any case if you intend to develop R packages on Windows.

I did run a test on my own Windows Vista system prior to posting so it
certainly does work on Windows under the assumptions of the post.
