What is it?
-----------
sed: stream editor

Description
-----------
Sed (streams editor) isn't really a true text editor or text processor. Instead, it is used to filter text, i.e., it takes text input and performs some operation (or set of operations) on it and outputs the modified text. Sed is typically used for extracting part of a file using pattern matching or substituting multiple occurances of a string within a file. Version 1.4 is the fast, small sed originally distributed in the GNU toolkit and still distributed with Minix -- but it's still better for some uses (in particular, faster and less memory-intensive). More information can be found in the docs provided with the package, and in - IBM Developer Works Common Threads: Sed by Example: - Part 1<http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-sed1.html> - Part 2<http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-sed2.html> - Part 3<http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-sed3.html> - Sed FAQ<http://sed.sourceforge.net/sedfaq.html> - Grymoire Sed Tutorial<http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html> - Sed and Regular Expressions<http://main.rtfiber.com.tw/~changyj/sed> - Sourceforge project Sed<http://sed.sourceforge.net> - SedSed<http://sedsed.sourceforge.net> - Sed specification<http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/sed.html> - Regular expressions specification<http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap09.html> - Sed Tutorial<http://www.panix.com/~elflord/unix/sed.html> - Sed Users Mailing List<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sed-users>

Installation and usage

Setup programs:

- sed-4.2.1-src-setup.exe


Installation
------------
The GnuWin port of Sed has an additional option -b (--binary) for input and output in MS-Windows binary mode<http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/compile.html#Text_files_and_binary_files>. The default is input and output in binary mode, so that all characters are copied verbatim; this is useful, for example, when editing files with Unicode characters or with embedded Ctl-Z symbols.

Sources
-------
- sed-4.2.1-src.zip

Compilation
-----------
The package has been compiled with GNU auto-tools, GNU make, and Mingw
(GCC for MS-Windows). Any differences from the original sources are given
in sed-4.2.1-GnuWin.diffs in sed-4.2.1-src.zip. 
Libraries needed for compilation can be found at the lines starting with 
'LIBS = ' in the Makefiles. Usually, these are standard libraries provided 
with Mingw, libraries from the package itself, or libraries available in 
other packages on GnuWin. For more information, see: 
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/compile.html.
