Intermediate Sed Usage
xpmo.gitlab.io
If you’ve been using Linux for any small length of time, you’ve likely used sed before. Most of the time, you’ve seen it in the form of sed "s/find/replace/g", so you simply go to it whenever there’s a replacement you want to do. But sed stands for stream editor, and as a tool it can do more than just find and replace.

Feedback is still welcome, either here or as Merge Requests to my Gitlab Pages repo.

    Never quite understand what sed is designed for. It seems to be able to do almost everything in the cost of complexity. Really useful when I need to hack together some config files for auto builds tho.
