[ale] bash, sed substitution brain baker

[Jim Kinney]

columns 5 and 7 each have about 6-10 different values available. Each
value is exactly mapped to an index number. Some value indexes are
shared between two different values (within the same column).

So col 5 may need 2,3,5,9 substituted in while col7 may need
3,5,9,16,21 substituted in.

The cols are fixed (although the actual ordering can be changed and
accommodated for in the processing) and the values in the cols are not
going to be mixed but they may be duplicates.
