Shameless plug for even terser syntax: https://github.com/chmln/sd https://github.com/chmln/sd

  looks interesting, bookmarked (will possibly add tutorial on this someday) one question though, sed is not just search and replace, it is filter + search and replace (without going into arcane commands like n,N,x,h,etc) - filtering can be done based on regex, line number, combination of these two for blocks of line, etc.. Does sd support these?

    Not to derail this submission, but thanks for the consideration! See the first sentence at https://github.com/chmln/sd#comparison-to-sed https://github.com/chmln/sd#comparison-to-sed tl;dr its only find & replace with smart defaults and easy, straightforward syntax because I hated wrangling with sed's quirks. For more features, you're better off with sed. But if you're like me and only really use sed for find/replace, you will have a good time with sd.

      oh ok, I missed that line ;) this is like 'tr' in syntax and simplicity, instead of character change, you have character-sequence change and regex has more features than sed grep already has equivalent ripgrep implemented in Rust, I think soon we will have holy trinity grep/sed/awk equivalents in Rust

  Wow, that's glorious. Thanks for sharing

  That looks very nice, thank you for sharing/writing it! Are you responsible for updating the Cargo package? It's the first time I've used Cargo and was wondering how often I should re-run it or check for updates?
  • chmln 8y ago
    You can run cargo install-update -a every now and then to check for updates. At some point in a few weeks I hope to have binaries distributed with every release, which means there will be better/faster ways to install sd than cargo.

  Why is it 11x faster?
