After all the commands have +been applied to the first input line, that line is output and a second +input line is taken for processing, and the cycle repeats. The +preceding examples assume that input comes from the standard input +device (i.e, the console, normally this will be piped input). One or +more filenames can be appended to the command line if the input does +not come from stdin. Output is sent to stdout (the screen). Thus: + + cat filename | sed '10q' # uses piped input + sed '10q' filename # same effect, avoids a useless "cat" + sed '10q' filename > newfile # redirects output to disk + +For additional syntax instructions, including the way to apply editing +commands from a disk file instead of the command line, consult "sed & +awk, 2nd Edition," by Dale Dougherty and Arnold Robbins (O'Reilly, +1997; http://www.ora.com), "UNIX Text Processing," by Dale Dougherty +and Tim O'Reilly (Hayden Books, 1987) or the tutorials by Mike Arst +distributed in U-SEDIT2.ZIP (many sites). To fully exploit the power +of sed, one must understand "regular expressions." For this, see +"Mastering Regular Expressions" by Jeffrey Friedl (O'Reilly, 1997). +The manual ("man") pages on Unix systems may be helpful (try "man +sed", "man regexp", or the subsection on regular expressions in "man +ed"), but man pages are notoriously difficult. They are not written to +teach sed use or regexps to first-time users, but as a reference text +for those already acquainted with these tools. + +QUOTING SYNTAX: The preceding examples use single quotes ('...') +instead of double quotes ("...") to enclose editing commands, since +sed is typically used on a Unix platform. Single quotes prevent the +Unix shell from intrepreting the dollar sign ($) and backquotes +(`...`), which are expanded by the shell if they are enclosed in +double quotes. Users of the "csh" shell and derivatives will also need +to quote the exclamation mark (!) with the backslash (i.e., \!) to +properly run the examples listed above, even within single quotes. +Versions of sed written for DOS invariably require double quotes +("...") instead of single quotes to enclose editing commands. + +USE OF '\t' IN SED SCRIPTS: For clarity in documentation, we have used +the expression '\t' to indicate a tab character (0x09) in the scripts. +However, most versions of sed do not recognize the '\t' abbreviation, +so when typing these scripts from the command line, you should press +the TAB key instead. '\t' is supported as a regular expression +metacharacter in awk, perl, and HHsed, sedmod, and GNU sed v3.02.80. + +VERSIONS OF SED: Versions of sed do differ, and some slight syntax +variation is to be expected. In particular, most do not support the +use of labels (:name) or branch instructions (b,t) within editing +commands, except at the end of those commands. We have used the syntax +which will be portable to most users of sed, even though the popular +GNU versions of sed allow a more succinct syntax. When the reader sees +a fairly long command such as this: + + sed -e '/AAA/b' -e '/BBB/b' -e '/CCC/b' -e d + +it is heartening to know that GNU sed will let you reduce it to: + + sed '/AAA/b;/BBB/b;/CCC/b;d' # or even + sed '/AAA\|BBB\|CCC/b;d' + +In addition, remember that while many versions of sed accept a command +like "/one/ s/RE1/RE2/", some do NOT allow "/one/! s/RE1/RE2/", which +contains space before the 's'. Omit the space when typing the command. + +OPTIMIZING FOR SPEED: If execution speed needs to be increased (due to +large input files or slow processors or hard disks), substitution will +be executed more quickly if the "find" expression is specified before +giving the "s/.../.../" instruction. Thus: + + sed 's/foo/bar/g' filename # standard replace command + sed '/foo/ s/foo/bar/g' filename # executes more quickly + sed '/foo/ s//bar/g' filename # shorthand sed syntax + +On line selection or deletion in which you only need to output lines +from the first part of the file, a "quit" command (q) in the script +will drastically reduce processing time for large files. Thus: + + sed -n '45,50p' filename # print line nos. 45-50 of a file + sed -n '51q;45,50p' filename # same, but executes much faster + +If you have any additional scripts to contribute or if you find errors +in this document, please send e-mail to the compiler.
