sed-4.2.1 for Windows *

What is it?

sed: stream editor

Description

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. Version 1.4 is the fast, small sed originally distributed in the GNU toolkit and still distributed with Minix -- but it's still better for some uses (in particular, faster and less memory-intensive).

Installation

The GnuWin port of Sed has an additional option -b (--binary) for input and output in MS-Windows binary modehttp://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/compile.html#Text_files_and_binary_files. The default is input and output in binary mode, so that all characters are copied verbatim; this is useful, for example, when editing files with Unicode characters or with embedded Ctl-Z symbols.

Compilation

The package has been compiled with GNU auto-tools, GNU make, and Mingw (GCC for MS-Windows). Any differences from the original sources are given in sed-4.2.1-GnuWin.diffs in sed-4.2.1-src.zip. Libraries needed for compilation can be found at the lines starting with 'LIBS = ' in the Makefiles. Usually, these are standard libraries provided with Mingw, libraries from the package itself, or libraries available in other packages on GnuWin.
