Indeed that is a very valuable resource from the "good old times".

There is an awful lot what can be done with SED. I have to admit that I tend to try to resolve a problem first with SED before considering other tools like AWK (or PERL).

Some additional useful links (e.g. FAQ, etc.) can be found here:

I`ve used that file of examples for almost 5 years now! It`s excellent.!

Sed is just about the most commonly used Bash command, more than grep.

That "one liners" page has long been my reference for sed when I needed a sed function beyond the usual "sed -i 's:this:that:g' filename", I couldn't have gotten along
without it.

Curaga.  Thanks for this link!  Never felt like I had a good grasp on sed.   This will help!

A resourse that i fall back on is "the advanced bash scripting guide".  Typeing on my phone right now but a google search should get you to it.

Very useful link, thanks.

I use sed as well as cut and tr whenever tweaking measurement data files into a more friendly format.
