Great, I will work on it. and then compare it with the code you have given. I haven't clicked on the show button yet!

I have to give up with sed.
I mean I looked up into it, but I clearly need to understand more about it.
Can you explain those regex to me?

Edit: To be more clear I was stuck to that part of sed, where I thought that how can I extract text from sed, where you can replace text using sed.
I mean I was trying to do this in sed:

sed -n 's/[[:digit:]]/WhatToPutHere/2p'
Knowing that the second digit is the episode number.

I would have used 3p where the episode number entered double digits.
