Search Results

so, as I supposed after your first answer, it seems that it just can't use a two-line search pattern, but can only operate split lines as a substitute pattern.

I'm on Mac OS X 10.5.8 :).

however, if I use GNU sed version 4.1.5 (from ports) then, yes, it works without errors, but also without any results, I'd say: the sed command above we were testing...

no, backslash doesn't help:
dsjkvf on Penelope @ ~/tmp/devel> cat data
<date>some_date</date>
<text>some_text</text>
<name>some_name</name>
dsjkvf on Penelope @ ~/tmp/devel> echo data | sed...

but I can split the substitute pattern over two lines with sed. e.g.:
sed 's/\([0-9A-Za-z]\),\([0-9A-Za-z]\)/\1 \
\2/g'
so, I probably cannot split search pattern, that's why I saw that error?

great, thank you!

now I've just should figure for myself what all those mysterious perl switches do :).

thanks! but now it only changes the first array of data, operates with the first three lines (and I have a lot of all those <date></date><text></text><name></name>).

so, I wonder, how to make it...

I have some text:
<date>some_date</date>
<text>some_text</text>
<name>some_name<name>


and I want to transform it to smthng like that:
some_name on some_date: some_text

I've tried...

any news here? :)

for now i'm using 'less' as a filter, so it makes a pause, and i'm able to see an output.

but may be there is another more stylish decision?
