Code :
Read Pattern Commands Operations/Comments - (New) Pattern Space that after command
Code :
1.line -> \n /^$/ (if the my Pattern is a blank line) then \n$ (1.line [\n])
YES my Pattern space is a blank line -> "\n")
2.line -> \n N; (Appends next line to our pattern space) \n\n$ *(1.line [\n] and 2.line [\n])
\n$/ (if the end of *(its means -> $) the my Pattern's contains "\n")
D; (Delete first portion of the pattern space until the "\n") \n$ (current Pattern)
so deletes at the end "\n"
*(deleted the second "\n" in the pattern space)
and go on next cycle *(begin the execute command again )
over new Pattern so both new Pattern and readed the file
would be our NEW PATTERN )
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*(NEW PATTERN
from Pattern Space )
[\n] * *-1 (last state the Pattern space was -> "\n$" )
*-2 (look at end of the New Pattern space table)
/^$/ *-3 (YES my Pattern space is a blank line -> "\n")
3.line -> \n N; *(Appends next line *(3.line) to our Pattern space) \n\n$ (current Pattern and 3.line [\n])
/\n$/ *-4 (again if the end of the current Pattern space contains "\n"
YES it was(\n\n$))
D; *-5 (Delete first portion of the pattern space until the "\n") \n$ (current Pattern)
so it is "\n\n$" --> it was "\n$" after the "D" command
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[\n] * *-1 *-2 *(same comments )
/^$/ *-3
4.line -> \n N; *(Appends next line *(4.line) to our Pattern space) \n\n$ (current Pattern and 4.line [\n])
/\n$/ *-4
D; *-5 \n$ (current Pattern)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[\n] * *-1 *-2 *(same comments )
/^$/ *-3
5.line -> ello N; *(Appends next line *(5.line) to our Pattern space) \nello$ (current Pattern and 5.line [ello])
/\n$/ *-6 (the condition is not true then skip "D" command )
*-7 default action -> (PRINT Pattern and read the NEXT line)
!!! THERE IS A PRINT !!!
====================
\n
ello
** (these are in the sed buffer and will be PRINTed at the end of all commands,
*** (i.e. -> when Pattern space till emptied -> look at the end of the cycle )

/\n$/ *-4
D; *-5 \n$ (current Pattern)
!!! THERE IS A PRINT !!!
====================
\n
*** ( Pattern space till emptied because of we arrived the EOF then close the file and ended the SED )
and default action works (PRINT THE SED'S PATTERN BUFFER )
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
so all prints echoes to screen
