Full Discussion: sed fails to apply substitute commands

I haven't noticed that it would have problems with -e
As you can see there are plenty of them and most of them works except for these three.
I haven't looked into anything but sed so far.

The first one's supposed to get rid of garbage that's not really useful once the targeted html page's been modified for offline use. However, this one sometimes works when the html page's size is really small, i.e. around our below 100kB. I thought that it might be a problem with buffer, but after some research I found out that GNU sed has no limit.
The other two are supposed to inject some Javascript and CSS to add some really handy features to the html.

Edit: on a second thought, I have no idea why have i included the third command with the S2 variable, because that works well.

And thanks for the quick reply.

irdaping

IRDAPING(8)															       IRDAPING(8)

NAME

       irdaping - sends IrDA test frames

SYNOPSIS

       irdaping [ daddr ] [ -s framesize ]

OPTIONS

       daddr ...

       -s framesize ...

DESCRIPTION

       This is a program similar to ping(8). It sends IrDA test frames (added some userdata which contains the frame number and the time the frame
       was sent). You can change the size of the frame by using the -s option. To get daddr you may use irdadump.

       irdaping must be run as root or installed setuid root, as it requires root privileges.

EXAMPLES

       irdaping <daddr> [-s <framesize>]

       You may use an alias, which does not use any parameter alias irping="irdaping `grep daddr /proc/net/irda/discovery|sed s/.*daddr://`"	It
       works fine when there is only one discovered client.

DIAGNOSTICS
