Re: sed help

a lot of these old unix utilities like sed and awk are becoming
deprecated by the community of linux people. If youre thinking about
learning sed or awk, I would suggest just using command line perl, a
skill that you can leverage in many other places. You can do anything
with perl that you can sed or awk, in a similar format.
