Re: [9fans] non greedy regular expressions

[Gabriel Diaz Lopez de la Llave <gdiaz@9grid.es>]

hello

using sed and only one reg-exp is mandatory?

cat t.txt| sed 's/(ABC | CBA)/ \n\1\n /g'  | awk '/ABC/,/CBA/' | grep - 
v 'ABC|CBA'

that's a naive and simple approach, but i can't see why you need to  
use just one reg-exp and just one sed. May be i missed something  
through the thread :-?
