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. |
