====== ed Cheat Sheet ======
ed is a small, powerful, line-oriented, command-line-interfaced text editor. All editors frustrate, but ed often amazes while others disappoint.
[[http://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/ed.msg.html|ed, man! !man ed]] — ed is the standard text editor.
"man ed" for more information.
Start ed from your shell command line:
"ed //file//"
Edit file by entering ed commands with the following syntax:
"[//range//][//command//]"
//range// specifies the line or block of consecutive lines (syntax: "//from-line//,//to-line//") to which //command// is applied. Default range is the current line except where noted below with a parenthesis preceding the command syntax. Lines are specified as follows:
| //n// | line //n// | "." | current | "$" | last | "'"//c// | mark //c// |
| "-"[//n//] | up //n// (default: 1) | "+"[//n//] | down //n// (default: 1) | "," | 1,$ | ";" | .,$ |
| "?//re//?" | previous regexp match |||| "///re///" | next regexp match |||
===== Input commands =====

| "(1,$)g///re/////cmds//" | Perform //cmds// for all matching lines. | "(1,$)v///re/////cmds//" | Perform //cmds// for all non-matching lines. |
