Thanks list, Rex & Craig. I've learnt something.
Now, to test usage. Is this a result or an error-message?:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] rik $ sed GNUlinux.txt~ sed: -e expression #1, char 2: Extra characters after command
Looks like my input is wrong.. Ok, I'm supposed to be processing my file in some more functional way.
It's a stream editor, not an interactive one. It (usually) edits standard in, and the result appears on standard out. Your editing commands appear in the argument list, such as
sed -e 's/a few/two/' < GNUlinux.txt > Edited.txt
