If the latter, I would suggest moving to line 1 before beginning the backwards search. As it is, if the final match is the last line, and if there is an earlier match, the earlier match will "win".

Yes. Thank you for catching this. I thought I typed the "s", but it isn't in my test script. Smilie

The POSIX standard says that a "-" operand produces unspecified results. On some systems, "-" is a synonym for "-s"; on other systems "-" is a file operand referring to ed's standard input. On OS X (the OS on my primary machine), "-" and "-s" are synonyms so I didn't notice the typo when I was testing.

You are also correct in noting that the current line is set to the last line in the buffer when a file is loaded into the buffer by the e command, the E command, or by naming a file operand on the command line.

Note that the following script could just use the command 1 (digit one; not letter el), but that would print the first line. Substituting the start of line 1 to nothing doesn't change anything on the line, but changes the current line to the 1st line in the buffer without printing anything.
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
ed - in.addafter <<EOF
1s/^//
?^ACL localnet?a
My Network 192.168.1.1
.
w
q
EOF

Note that although I specified /bin/ksh for this script, any shell should work. I tested it with ksh, bash, csh, sh, and tcsh.

NAME
tgn - a network traffic generator SYNOPSIS
tgn [-V] [-v] [-l] [-s random seed] [-w PCAP filename] [-o output speaker] [-c packet count] [-h] [PDU definition] DESCRIPTION
tgn is a network traffic generator. It is command-line interface (CLI) program that does the same thing as the send_network command of the Network Expect framework. Refer to nexp(1) for additional details regarding the send_network command. The only mandatory option is a PDU definition. The -c switch allows to specify the number of packets to send. If -c is not provided then the number of packets to send is calculated automatically based on the PDU definition. -V causes tgn to print its version number and exit. The -s flag allows to specify a random seed that will cause predicatibility of pseudo-random numbers generated by tgn during execution of a script. In cases where tgn is used as a protocol fuzzer, this option is useful to be able to re-generate a specific test case. -v increases the verbosity level. Additional information may be displayed when the verbosity level is higher. The -l flag causes tgn to display all available network speakers and exit. See nexp(1) for a discussion of network speakers. The -o flag allows to select a specific network speaker for output. Use the -l option to list available speakers. By default, the "ip" speaker (kernel-routed IP packet delivery) is tried first and if it is not available, which can happen if tgn is not run with root privileges, the "hex" speaker is used. The PDU definition is a string that defines a PDU. It uses libpbuild PDU syntax. EXAMPLES
shell# tgn -o eth0 "ip(dst = 192.168.1.1)/icmp-echo(id = 'random')" shell# tgn "ip(src = 192.168.0.1, dst = <192.168.0.10, 192.168.0.11>,ttl = <1, 2>)/" "tcp(src = 'random', dst = 22..25, window = 16384,syn, seq = 'random', ack-seq = 0)" shell# tgn -w /tmp/cap -c 5 "ether()/ip(dst = 1.2.3.4++)/icmp-echo(seq = 0++)" && wireshark /tmp/cap BUGS
tgn has not been ported to Microsoft Windows. VERSION
This man page is correct for version 1.0 of tgn. SEE ALSO
