Hello,
- Usage of multiple commands [...]
- The possibility to use a semicolon instead of a newline [...]
12 years later, there's now a dedicated section
in gnu sed's manual about multiple commands and semicolons:
https://www.gnu.org/software/sed/manual/html_node/Multiple-commands-syntax.html#Multiple-commands-syntax
It is included in the texinfo file of sed-4.4 (which is now in
'testing').
- it is not specified whether address selections following a command
act on unchanged input lines [...] or on the lines as changed by the
previous command
That's a good point.
The 'address' section is much expanded:
https://www.gnu.org/software/sed/manual/html_node/sed-addresses.html#sed-addresses
But I'll add explicit mention of this issue.
regards,
- assaf
