Oh? How so? "basename" and "mkdir -p" should be your friend...

Your sed is surely wrong, though; it looks like you're asking it to
match lines that begin with "A" or "M", delete the entire contents
line, and print the blank line, which is surely not what you want...

I'd say you probably want something more like:

sed -n -E -e "s/^[AM].{6}//p"

-n: don't print by default
-E: use modern regex syntax
-e: use the following regex

(At least, those flags are accurate for my BSD sed. With GNU sed it
may be different.)

Then search for lines starting with "A" or "M", followed by any 6
characters, delete those 7 characters, and print the rest of the line.

Not aware of any existing script, but people do ask for this
functionality on this list with surprising regularity, so probably
someone has already written a script.

How were you planning on handling deletions, by the way?
