<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
<EM>Ed</EM> is functionally equivalent to the standard V7 editor, ed. It supports
the following commands:
(.) a: append
(.,.) c: change
(.,.) d: delete
e: edit new file"
f: print name of edited file"
(1,$) g: global command
(.) i: insert
(.,.+1) j: join lines together
(.) k: mark
(.) l: print with special characters in octal
(.,.) m: move
(.,.) p: print
q: quit editor"
(.) r: read in new file
(.,.) s: substitute
(1,$) v: like g, except select lines that do not match
(1,$) w: write out edited file
Many of the commands can take one or two addresses, as indicated above.
The defaults are shown in parentheses. Thus <EM>a</EM> appends to the current
line, and <EM>g</EM> works on the whole file as default. The dot refers to the
current line. Below is a sample editing session with comments given
following the # symbol.
ed prog.c # Edit prog.c
3,20p # Print lines 3 through 20
/whole/ # Find next occurence of <EM>whole</EM>
s/whole/while/ # Replace <EM>whole</EM> by <EM>while</EM>
g/Buf/s//BUF/g # Replace <EM>Buf</EM> by <EM>BUF</EM> everywhere
w # Write the file back
q # Exit the editor
<EM>Ed</EM> is provided for its sentimental value. If you want a line-oriented
editor, try <EM>ex</EM>. If you want a good editor, use <EM>elle</EM>, <EM>elvis</EM>, or <EM>mined</EM>.
