Beautiful man! Hats off. I've never used sed like that but I'll surely
remember that one. Thanks from everybody.
"sed" is a very nice tool. You can do amazing things with it. I once did
a XML to HTML (limited) parser in it. I know someone that even coded
a "Sokoban"-like game with sed and nothing else.
Mastering sed really makes life much easier.
If sed had been invented first we wouldn't have needed grep. Then
again, if perl had been invented first we wouldn't need either - or a
few hundred other tools...
