sed2p05.zip - SED is the GNU Free Software Foundation version of Stream Editor. A stream editor is used to perform basic text transformations on an input stream (a file or input from a pipeline).

But it is sed's ability to filter text in a pipeline which particularly distinguishes it from other types of editors. Ported by Peter Tillier(169K) [12/07/16]
