My requirement was wrong: the predend string is:
"http://groups.google.com/group"
So I've tried to modify your sed to:
"...google.com\/group\//"
but this fails.
I'd like a script to just write the set of concatenation of 3 strings tp
a file first, as an off-line test.

I.e. instead of putting the & string directly in the
sed command, put the FileIDs where they can be fetched.
