I know that you asked for a sed solution, but ed is well suited to something like this and only needs to be invoked once to do it. This was tested using a Korn shell, but will work with any shell that recognizes basic Bourne shell syntax:
Hello!
Im trying to read file contents. Then, print out every line that has "/bens/here" in the file that was read.
cat /my/file.now | sed '/bens/here/p'
I keep getting the error asking if I need to predeclare sed?
What does predeclaring sed mean?
Thanks!

grep
GREP(1) General Commands Manual GREP(1)NAME
grep - search a file for lines containing a given pattern
SYNOPSIS
grep [-elnsv] pattern [file] ...
OPTIONS -e-e pattern is the same as pattern
-c Print a count of lines matched
-i Ignore case
-l Print file names, no lines
-n Print line numbers
-s Status only, no printed output
-v Select lines that do not match
EXAMPLES
grep mouse file # Find lines in file containing mouse
grep [0-9] file # Print lines containing a digit
DESCRIPTION
Grep searches one or more files (by default, stdin) and selects out all the lines that match the pattern. All the regular expressions
accepted by ed and mined are allowed. In addition, + can be used instead of * to mean 1 or more occurrences, ? can be used to mean 0 or 1
occurrences, and | can be used between two regular expressions to mean either one of them. Parentheses can be used for grouping. If a
match is found, exit status 0 is returned. If no match is found, exit status 1 is returned. If an error is detected, exit status 2 is
returned.
