15 # (p)sed - a stream editor
16 # History: Aug 12 2000: Original version.
17 # Mar 25 2002: Rearrange generated Perl program.
25 psed - a stream editor
29 psed [-an] script [file ...]
30 psed [-an] [-e script] [-f script-file] [file ...]
32 s2p [-an] [-e script] [-f script-file]
36 A stream editor reads the input stream consisting of the specified files
37 (or standard input, if none are given), processes is line by line by
38 applying a script consisting of edit commands, and writes resulting lines
39 to standard output. The filename `C<->' may be used to read standard input.
41 The edit script is composed from arguments of B<-e> options and
42 script-files, in the given order. A single script argument may be specified
43 as the first parameter.
45 If this program is invoked with the name F<s2p>, it will act as a
46 sed-to-Perl translator. See L<"sed Script Translation">.
48 B<sed> returns an exit code of 0 on success or >0 if an error occurred.
56 A file specified as argument to the B<w> edit command is by default
57 opened before input processing starts. Using B<-a>, opening of such
58 files is delayed until the first line is actually written to the file.
62 The editing commands defined by I<script> are appended to the script.
63 Multiple commands must be separated by newlines.
65 =item B<-f> I<script-file>
67 Editing commands from the specified I<script-file> are read and appended
72 By default, a line is written to standard output after the editing script
73 has been applied to it. The B<-n> option suppresses automatic printing.
79 B<sed> command syntax is defined as
81 Z<> Z<> Z<> Z<>[I<address>[B<,>I<address>]][B<!>]I<function>[I<argument>]
83 with whitespace being permitted before or after addresses, and between
84 the function character and the argument. The I<address>es and the
85 address inverter (C<!>) are used to restrict the application of a
86 command to the selected line(s) of input.
88 Each command must be on a line of its own, except where noted in
91 The edit cycle performed on each input line consist of reading the line
92 (without its trailing newline character) into the I<pattern space>,
93 applying the applicable commands of the edit script, writing the final
94 contents of the pattern space and a newline to the standard output.
95 A I<hold space> is provided for saving the contents of the
96 pattern space for later use.
100 A sed address is either a line number or a pattern, which may be combined
101 arbitrarily to construct ranges. Lines are numbered across all input files.
103 Any address may be followed by an exclamation mark (`C<!>'), selecting
104 all lines not matching that address.
110 The line with the given number is selected.
114 A dollar sign (C<$>) is the line number of the last line of the input stream.
116 =item B</>I<regular expression>B</>
118 A pattern address is a basic regular expression (see
119 L<"Basic Regular Expressions">), between the delimiting character C</>.
120 Any other character except C<\> or newline may be used to delimit a
121 pattern address when the initial delimiter is prefixed with a
126 If no address is given, the command selects every line.
128 If one address is given, it selects the line (or lines) matching the
131 Two addresses select a range that begins whenever the first address
132 matches, and ends (including that line) when the second address matches.
133 If the first (second) address is a matching pattern, the second
134 address is not applied to the very same line to determine the end of
135 the range. Likewise, if the second address is a matching pattern, the
136 first address is not applied to the very same line to determine the
137 begin of another range. If both addresses are line numbers,
138 and the second line number is less than the first line number, then
139 only the first line is selected.
144 The maximum permitted number of addresses is indicated with each
145 function synopsis below.
147 The argument I<text> consists of one or more lines following the command.
148 Embedded newlines in I<text> must be preceded with a backslash. Other
149 backslashes in I<text> are deleted and the following character is taken

&Emit
, '{ push( @Q, <<'."'TheEnd' ) }\n" ]; #ok
161 =item [1addr]B<a\> I<text>
163 Write I<text> (which must start on the line following the command)
164 to standard output immediately before reading the next line
165 of input, either by executing the B<N> function or by beginning a new cycle.
169 #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
170 $ComTab{'b'}=[ 2, 'str', \
&Branch
, '{ goto XXX; }' ]; #ok
172 =item [2addr]B<b> [I<label>]

187 The line, or range of lines, selected by the address is deleted.
188 The I<text> (which must start on the line following the command)
189 is written to standard output. With an address range, this occurs at
190 the end of the range.

211 if(length($_)){ goto BOS } else { goto EOS }
214 ### continue OK => next CYCLE;
218 Deletes the pattern space through the first embedded newline or to the end.
219 If the pattern space becomes empty, a new cycle is started, otherwise
220 execution of the script is restarted.
224 #--------------------------------------------------------------------------

275 Print the contents of the pattern space: non-printable characters are
276 shown in C-style escaped form; long lines are split and have a trailing
277 `C<\>' at the point of the
split; the true end of a line is marked with
278 a
`C<$>'. Escapes are: `\a', `\t', `\n', `\f', `\r', `\e' for
279 BEL, HT, LF, FF, CR, ESC, respectively, and `\' followed by a three
-digit
280 octal number

296 If automatic printing is enabled, write the pattern space to the standard
297 output. Replace the pattern space with the next line of input. If
298 there is no more input, processing is terminated.

324 Print the pattern space to the standard output. (Use the B<-n> option
325 to suppress automatic printing at the end of a cycle if you want to
326 avoid double printing of lines.)

355 $ComTab{'r'}=[ 1, 'str', \
&Emit
, "{ _r( '-X-' ) }" ]; #ok
357 =item [1addr]B<r> I<file>
359 Copy the contents of the I<file> to standard output immediately before
360 the next attempt to read a line of input. Any error encountered while
361 reading I<file> is silently ignored.
365 #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
366 $ComTab{'s'}=[ 2, 'sub', \
&Emit
, '' ]; #ok
368 =item [2addr]B<s/>I<regular expression>B</>I<replacement>B</>I<flags>
370 Substitute the I<replacement> string for the first substring in
371 the pattern space that matches the I<regular expression>.
372 Any character other than backslash or newline can be used instead of a
373 slash to delimit the regular expression and the replacement.
374 To use the delimiter as a literal character within the regular expression
375 and the replacement, precede the character by a backslash (`C<\>').
377 Literal newlines may be embedded in the replacement string by
378 preceding a newline with a backslash.
380 Within the replacement, an ampersand (`C<&>') is replaced by the string
381 matching the regular expression. The strings `C<\1>' through `C<\9>' are
382 replaced by the corresponding subpattern (see L<"Basic Regular Expressions">).
383 To get a literal `C<&>' or `C<\>' in the replacement text, precede it
386 The following I<flags> modify the behaviour of the B<s> command:
392 The replacement is performed for all matching, non-overlapping substrings
393 of the pattern space.
397 Replace only the n-th matching substring of the pattern space.
401 If the substitution was made, print the new value of the pattern space.
405 If the substitution was made, write the new value of the pattern space
406 to the specified file.

413 $ComTab{'t'}=[ 2, 'str', \
&Branch
, '{ goto XXX if _t() }' ]; #ok
415 =item [2addr]B<t> [I<label>]
417 Branch to the B<:> function with the specified I<label> if any B<s>
418 substitutions have been made since the most recent reading of an input line
419 or execution of a B<t> function. If no label is given, branch to the end of
425 #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
426 $ComTab{'w'}=[ 2, 'str', \
&Write
, "{ _w( '-X-' ) }" ]; #ok
428 =item [2addr]B<w> I<file>
430 The contents of the pattern space are written to the I<file>.
434 #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
435 $ComTab{'x'}=[ 2, '', \
&Emit
, '{ ($Hold, $_) = ($_, $Hold) }' ]; #ok
439 Swap the contents of the pattern space and the hold space.
443 #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
444 $ComTab{'y'}=[ 2, 'tra', \
&Emit
, '' ]; #ok
445 =item [2addr]B<y>B</>I<string1>B</>I<string2>B</>
447 In the pattern space, replace all characters occuring in I<string1> by the
448 character at the corresponding position in I<string2>. It is possible
449 to use any character (other than a backslash or newline) instead of a
450 slash to delimit the strings. Within I<string1> and I<string2>, a
451 backslash followed by any character other than a newline is that literal
452 character, and a backslash followed by an `n' is replaced by a newline
457 #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
458 $ComTab{'='}=[ 1, '', \
&Emit
, '{ print "$.\n" }' ]; #ok
462 Prints the current line number on the standard output.
466 #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
467 $ComTab{':'}=[ 0, 'str', \
&Label
, '' ]; #ok
469 =item [0addr]B<:> [I<label>]
471 The command specifies the position of the I<label>. It has no other effect.

478 # ';' to avoid warning on empty {}-block
480 =item [2addr]B<{> [I<command>]
484 These two commands begin and end a command list. The first command may
485 be given on the same line as the opening B<{> command. The commands
486 within the list are jointly selected by the address(es) given on the
487 B<{> command (but may still have individual addresses).
491 #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
492 $ComTab{'#'}=[ 0, 'str', \
&Comment

494 =item [0addr]B<#> [I<comment>]
496 The entire line is ignored (treated as a comment). If, however, the first
497 two characters in the script are `C<#n>', automatic printing of output is
498 suppressed, as if the B<-n> option were given on the command line.

804 =head1 BASIC REGULAR EXPRESSIONS
806 A I<Basic Regular Expression> (BRE), as defined in POSIX 1003.2, consists
807 of I<atoms>, for matching parts of a string, and I<bounds>, specifying
808 repetitions of a preceding atom.
812 The possible atoms of a BRE are: B<.>, matching any single character;
813 B<^> and B<$>, matching the null string at the beginning or end
814 of a string, respectively; a I<bracket expressions>, enclosed
815 in B<[> and B<]> (see below); and any single character with no
816 other significance (matching that character). A B<\> before one
817 of: B<.>, B<^>, B<$>, B<[>, B<*>, B<\>, matching the character
818 after the backslash. A sequence of atoms enclosed in B<\(> and B<\)>
819 becomes an atom and establishes the target for a I<backreference>,
820 consisting of the substring that actually matches the enclosed atoms.
821 Finally, B<\> followed by one of the digits B<0> through B<9> is a
824 A B<^> that is not first, or a B<$> that is not last does not have
825 a special significance and need not be preceded by a backslash to
826 become literal. The same is true for a B<]>, that does not terminate
827 a bracket expression.
829 An unescaped backslash cannot be last in a BRE.
833 The BRE bounds are: B<*>, specifying 0 or more matches of the preceding
834 atom; B<\{>I<count>B<\}>, specifying that many repetitions;
835 B<\{>I<minimum>B<,\}>, giving a lower limit; and
836 B<\{>I<minimum>B<,>I<maximum>B<\}> finally defines a lower and upper
839 A bound appearing as the first item in a BRE is taken literally.
841 =head2 Bracket Expressions
843 A I<bracket expression> is a list of characters, character ranges
844 and character classes enclosed in B<[> and B<]> and matches any
845 single character from the represented set of characters.
847 A character range is written as two characters separated by B<-> and
848 represents all characters (according to the character collating sequence)
849 that are not less than the first and not greater than the second.
850 (Ranges are very collating-sequence-dependent, and portable programs
851 should avoid relying on them.)
853 A character class is one of the class names
860 enclosed in B<[:> and B<:]> and represents the set of characters
861 as defined in ctype(3).
863 If the first character after B<[> is B<^>, the sense of matching is
866 To include a literal `C<^>', place it anywhere else but first. To
867 include a literal 'C<]>' place it first or immediately after an
868 initial B<^>. To include a literal `C<->' make it the first (or
869 second after B<^>) or last character, or the second endpoint of
872 The special bracket expression constructs C<[[:E<lt>:]]> and C<[[:E<gt>:]]>

876 =head2 Additional Atoms
878 Since some sed implementations provide additional regular expression
879 atoms (not defined in POSIX 1003.2), B<psed> is capable of translating
880 the following backslash escapes:
884 =item B<\E<lt>> This is the same as C<[[:E<gt>:]]>.
886 =item B<\E<gt>> This is the same as C<[[:E<lt>:]]>.
888 =item B<\w> This is an abbreviation for C<[[:alnum:]_]>.
890 =item B<\W> This is an abbreviation for C<[^[:alnum:]_]>.
892 =item B<\y> Match the empty string at a word boundary.
894 =item B<\B> Match the empty string between any two either word or non-word characters.
898 To enable this feature, the environment variable PSEDEXTBRE must be set
899 to a string containing the requested characters, e.g.:
900 C<PSEDEXTBRE='E<lt>E<gt>wW'>.

1929 The basic material for the preceding section was generated by running
1933 s/^.*Warn( *"\([^"]*\)".*$/\1/
1938 s/$[_[:alnum:]]\{1,\}/%s/g
1943 on the program's own text, and piping the output into C<sort -u>.
1946 =head1 SED SCRIPT TRANSLATION
1948 If this program is invoked with the name F<s2p> it will act as a
1949 sed-to-Perl translator. After option processing (all other
1950 arguments are ignored), a Perl program is printed on standard
1951 output, which will process the input stream (as read from all
1952 arguments) in the way defined by the sed script and the option setting
1953 used for the translation.
1957 perl(1), re_format(7)
1961 The B<l> command will show escape characters (ESC) as `C<\e>', but
1962 a vertical tab (VT) in octal.
1964 Trailing spaces are truncated from labels in B<:>, B<t> and B<b> commands.
1966 The meaning of an empty regular expression (`C<//>'), as defined by B<sed>,
1967 is "the last pattern used, at run time". This deviates from the Perl
1968 interpretation, which will re-use the "last last successfully executed
1969 regular expression". Since keeping track of pattern usage would create
1970 terribly cluttered code, and differences would only appear in obscure
1971 context (where other B<sed> implementations appear to deviate, too),
1972 the Perl semantics was adopted. Note that common usage of this feature,
1973 such as in C</abc/s//xyz/>, will work as expected.
1975 Collating elements (of bracket expressions in BREs) are not implemented.
1979 This B<sed> implementation conforms to the IEEE Std1003.2-1992 ("POSIX.2")
1980 definition of B<sed>, and is compatible with the I<OpenBSD>
1981 implementation, except where otherwise noted (see L<"BUGS">).
1985 This Perl implementation of I<sed> was written by Wolfgang Laun,
1986 I<Wolfgang.Laun@alcatel.at>.
