Use a quoted here documents

Use a quoted here document. Make sure you quote your identifier or the quotes will still give you problems.

You can tell when you have done it right because you don't have to type Ctrl-D after you type the unquoted identifier at the end.

Code:
# cat input_file.csv
Jim's,,cat,,,flies
Jessie's,,dog,,,climbs
#sed -nf - input_file.csv <<-'TOHERE'
/Jim's/p
TOHERE
Jim's,,cat,,,flies

All this really does is create a sort of on the fly file on standard input.
