I keep bumping up against this, so I thought I'd throw this question out
to those who understand sed better than I do.
What I'm trying to do is to clean up the contents of some files
(/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC would be a good example) to get more readable
diffs. To that end, I'm trying to use sed
Uh, I know I'm stating the obvious, but you might try these 2
techniques to enhance your diff experience:
1. Use diff -w.
2. Do cat filename | sort filename.sorted for both files you are
diffing, and then compare both sorted files.

I used to do that, or include an actual newline in a script, but it just
seems wrong from maintainability and readability standpoints.
Not directly FreeBSD question, however. Is it possible with sed (or awk)
to turn this:
i/in/1 2/3 4 5 6
into
i/in/1 2/3456
The same syntax would also need to work on:
i/in/1 2/x y z (result would be i/in/1 2/xyz)
i/in/1 2 (result would be i/in/12)
The closest I have gotten it to is:

A script of the form:
