        regex != glob


        What you're matching is zero or more "'s, followed by the
literal string `reserverd', followed by any character, followed by
`for', another arbitrary character, `cust', arbitrary character, `xx', 
followed by zero or more x's, and then a ".


        Read man regex, or perldoc perlre (which is slanted towards
perl's regexen, but then you should be using perl not sed :).  Also
look for _Mastering Regular Expressions_ from ORA (which covers
regular expressions in general for several common UNIX tools).
