Problem with g command in ed
Dear Sirs! I am having a problem with the above command. I am using an older version of OpenBSD, but perhaps the problem is also in newer versions. Experiment: (1) Write a file with 5 lines, each containg only the character a. (2) apply the following two lines command: g/a/\ d Does it do, what one expects? Thanks Rodrigo.
