Given an input stream containing:
<td>Creating XML-RPC client...</td>
<td align="right">0.0001</td>
<td>Creating XML-RPC client...</td>
<td align="right">0.0001</td>
<td>Creating XML-RPC client...</td>
<td align="right">0.0001</td>
<td>Creating XML-RPC client...</td>
<td align="right">0.0001</td>
<td>Creating XML-RPC client...</td>
<td align="right">0.0001</td>
Should not the sam command:
, x /^.*Creating.+\n/ d
delete lines 1,3,5,7 and 9? Or have I lost my mind (again). Instead of
deleting the lines, sam spits out the "?changes not in sequence" error.
n.b. This is Plan 9 from User Space sam (on FreeBSD 6.almost1).

delete the space after the x. it's a feature, not a bug, that
x without a delimeter means 'break into lines'. thus
x /pat/
and
x/pat/
mean very different things.

There is a difference between what you wrote and
, x/^.*Creating.+\n/ d
which is what you meant to write. If a space follows x
then it means make x loop over lines, so you can also
use the simpler:
,x g/Creating/d
