Hey everyone!
Simple question - I am trying to use sed to replace two different strings. As it stands I can implement this as:
sed -i 's/TIMEOUT//g'
sed -i 's/null//g'
And it works. However, is it possible to shrink that down into a single command? Will there be any performance benefits? (3 Replies)

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.
