@tripleo I would also be remiss not to mention #Perl's included perltrap manual page, which notes both the strict and warnings pragmas and also has nice lists of things for those coming from other #programming languages and tools like #AWK, #C and #CPlusPlus, #JavaScript, #sed, and #shell.
I use my #Linux Jedi light saber (#Vim) to make a #sed script to remove links to the #Mastodon posts I wanna keep. Clock is ticking on everything else. #C42
v1.0 then:
“Perl is kind of designed to make #awk and #sed semi-obsolete […] The language is intended to be practical (easy to use, efficient, complete) rather than beautiful (tiny, elegant, minimal).” https://github.com/Perl/perl5/releases/tag/perl-1.0
through all of my sysadmin experience i've been using #sed and avoiding #awk… for some reason. scratch that: for no good reason.
awk is to sed what python is to brainfuck.
the awk programs are a lot more easy to compose and modify, flexible and readable. and there's a brilliant book by the authors — now awailable for a free read from archive.org!
in retrospect, i can't see any tasks that i should have done with sed instead of #bash / awk.
Team douleurs chroniques, en passant à Lidl, j'ai vu qu'ils avaient des tas de coussins, tapis, manchons chauffants à des prix relativement modiques #fibromyalgie #DouleursChroniques #SED
https://webglossary.info/ is based on a book (“The Web Development Glossary”). Though both book and website use Markdown, I had to write a script that converts everything so that the book can fuel the site. (This works, and automated book–site conversion is pretty cool!)
Working on that script has been weird, some peers suggested to use Node instead, but I—kind of really liked writing it, and enjoyed working quite a bit with #sed!
During the East German uprising of 1953, more than 100 protestors were murdered by russian soldiers and Eastern German police forces or executed before drumhead court-martials. Thousands were imprisoned for demanding free elections and the resignation of the #SED government.
Today, 32 out of 39 members of the Left Party's parliamentary group in the #Bundestag did not attend the parliament's commemoration ceremony on the occasion of 17 June.
The Left Party is an indirect successor to the SED. 🤡
Okay, ich brauche Hilfe. Ich versuche mit #sed einen Text zu ersetzen, aber ich es funktioniert einfach nicht.

Was mache ich falsch? [#linux
--- Edit: Gelöst. sed -ri … (argument-order matters… duh)
Question for you young whippersnappers, is #YAML at least as much a language as #SED? Does it have some kind of stdin/stdout? looping? Trying to figure out what the next (21st) language to write a gui cloud app calculator in (yes as a matter of fact this DOES mean I did this in SED)
I tend to follow the logic of awk better than the one of sed (not being a vi enthusiast), but it is good to see when one might be better than the other:
for like more than 30 years, i have kinda skirted writing serious #ShellScripts, getting good with #awk and #sed , and getting really good with #LaTeX because it usually meant a TON of digging through old documentation and piecing things together. Recently, i just started asking #chatgpt things like:
How do I flip through a directory of a bazillion zip files, uncompress each one, put the contents on my NAS, and then move those zip files somewhere else for safekeeping?
