Package: sed Version: 4.2.1-9 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Output the script in 'info sed "Centering lines"' to a file:. % info sed "Centering lines" 2> /dev/null | \ sed -n '/#/,35p' | sed 's/^ //' > /tmp/sedcenter % chmod +x /tmp/sedcenter The script fails: % echo hello | /tmp/sedcenter /bin/sed: file /tmp/sedcenter line 12: strings for `y' command are different lengths Line #12: %grep -n 'y/' /tmp/sedcenter 12:y/tab/ / It looks as though #12 should behave as "tr '\t' ' '", but line #12 doesn't seem to work for the current version of 'sed'. This would work: s/\t/ /g I'd include a patch, but it's not obvious whether the code in line #12 is wrong, or if 'sed' should be able to run it.
