if you can do something like this with a vaguely bash-
like shell...

    echo $(sed SedCommandsHere) >> outfile

...the entire output of sed will be appended as a single,
space-separated line to outfile.

What this means is that if you can get SedCommandsHere to
spit out just the two lines you require, in the correct
order, the result will be a single line.
