You seem to miss the fact that the OP didn't asked for a portable script
and didn't even talked about any system specification.

So, it's _welcome_ to suppose he's using the most available implementation
of sed on Linux distribution which is GNU sed.

A: You are not using the original release of sed from 1973!!
B: I'm using sed-justforme, with the --magic option.

I'm pretty sure that on a linux mailing list, that the chances that he's
asking for a GNU-sed compatible regex are pretty strong.

Can't we all just get along? :)

In addition, this is the [gentoo-user] mailing list, so it should be
expected that a sed question will be answered based on the
sys-apps/sed as provided by Gentoo's portage.

If OP needs a portable (i.e., POSIX-compatible) sed, I'm sure he'll
explicitly ask :-)

Kewl! Let's we all get together for a couple pints of beer sometime :D

( OT: Any such thing as a GentooCon ? )
