Sed (streams editor) isn't really a true text editor or text processor. |
| 9 |
Instead, it is used to filter text, i.e., it takes text input and performs |
| 10 |
some operation (or set of operations) on it and outputs the modified text. |
| 11 |
Sed is typically used for extracting part of a file using pattern matching |
| 12 |
or substituting multiple occurrences of a string within a file. |
