And improved ed (ex) is what later morphed into vi ("visual") and then VIM. The advantage to sed (vs. ed) is that you don't have to load the entire file at once, so sed can edit files larger than memory, one line at a time. But if your data is on a slow fixed disk, it won't be faster than in memory (of course). But I'm almost always on a RAM disk anyways. ;-) > =A0 Please, read carefully the NEWS file to see the user visible changes > =A0 and read the info or html docs to become familiar with the program. > =A0 For beginers the chapter: examples in the info doc may be instructive= . > =A0 The chapter: Other resources for learning about 'sed' contains pointe= rs > =A0 to usefull sed specific urls. Some people have gotten hanoi, dc, sokoban, arkanoid, unlambda, etc. working in sed. :-)
