1. sed

   sed is a Unix utility that parses and transforms text. sed reads text input, line by line, either from a file or a stream, into an internal buffer called the pattern space. Each line read starts a cycle. To the pattern space, sed applies one or more operations which have been specified via a sed script. sed implements a programming language with about 25 commands that specify the operations on the text. When the sed script ends, sed outputs the pattern space, and reads the next line into the pattern space, starting a new cycle. The sed script can either be specified on the command line or read from a separate file. Commands in the sed script may also take an optional address. The address determines when the command is run, for example '2d' would only run the d command on the second input line. Some sed operations can use regular expressions to add flexibility. And a separate special buffer, the hold space, may be used by a few sed commands to hold and accumulate text between cycles. sed was developed from 1973 to 1974 as a Unix utility by Lee E. McMahon of Bell Labs, and is available today for most operating systems.
