you could do it the easy way:

sed -i 's/}/.eps}/' filename _______________________________________________

Thanks to all who replied. This sed command solution worked. The only thing other lines which had a "{" also added a *.eps to them but I fixed those manually. Not a problem because to change more than 50 lines and one or two need manual edits. The tradeoff is fine.

Best regards,

Just a comment about sed's "-i" (edit In place) option.

Personally I avoid it. Editing scripts are easy to mess up and with the -i, the original file may be changed in ways not wanted. Unlike interactive editors, there is no undo.
