Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ed
When chaining multiple commands with a g// search, ed in Ubuntu stops at
the first 'a', 'i', or 'c' and does not execute any commands after it.
It does not even examine them for syntax errors. ed in Mac OS X Leopard
executes as expected, see the example below.
Note that in the second command, ed in OS X performs the command on one
matched line before stopping due to the syntax error. This is probably
not expected either, ed should not do anything if there is a syntax
error. But this behaviour is better than not reporting the error at all
and silently succeeding.
In Ubuntu:
$ ed
H
P
*a
foobar
foobaz
.
*g/foo/a\
spam\
.\
p
*# nothing printed here, contrast with OS X
*g/foo/a\
eggs\
.\
nonexistentcommand
*# no error printed here
*1,$p
foobar
eggs
spam
foobaz
eggs
spam
*# command done instead of stopping due to syntax error
In Mac OS X Leopard:
$ ed
H
P
*a
foobar
foobaz
.
*g/foo/a\
spam\
.\
p
spam
spam
*g/foo/a\
eggs\
.\
nonexistentcommand
?
invalid command suffix
*1,$p
foobar
eggs
spam
foobaz
spam
*
