Good old ed(1). I don’t know why, but every now and then I like to edit my files using ed(1). Are there frequent ed(1) users around here? What is your motivation to use it?

ed
is outdated technology. I recommendsed
, I am using it each day to edit my files. Did you know thatsed
has it’s own scripting language, based on regular expressions? I can totally parse a.csv
file usingsed
script, and this will take me less than a hour.I should have mentioned that I meant interactive mode. Thus as editor.
I’m familiar with sed and awk.
