Working with sed
In this section, we will learn about the sed command, the powerful stream editor. We will give you a brief introduction on how sed works and we'll be showing you the substitution mode for automatically replacing text and files, which is one of the most important modes available. Next, we will learn about the sed command. Let's first examine its syntax:
