Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
curious about how that had felt in ancient times, when hardware |
| 4 |
and software were limited, I tried 'ed' - the one and only |
| 5 |
editor ;) |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
One feature I cant figure out (and the reason for that may be, that it |
| 8 |
is not there... :) is: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
One has to specify the line, which s/he wants to edit. This is |
| 11 |
possible via regexp (which matches more than one line and may be |
| 12 |
not, what you want) and via line numbers. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
In case one wants to use line numbers: |
| 15 |
One can list the whole text to the console...but the line numbers |
| 16 |
are missing. |
| 17 |
The "visual version of ed" called 'vi' is able to preceed any line |
| 18 |
with a line number. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
Is this possible with ed? |
| 21 |
How does one know the number of a specific line? |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Or do I miss something very fundamental here ??? |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Thanks for any help in advance! |
| 26 |
Best regards, |
