Sorry, I left out the \ escape. s/break_here/break_here\ /p In other words, \ followed by newline is an explicit newline, just as \& is an explicit ampersand. However, that will not work on the pattern side, because ed matches each line separately. -- John Cowan http://ccil.org/~cowan co...@ccil.org In might the Feanorians / that swore the unforgotten oath brought war into Arvernien / with burning and with broken troth. and Elwing from her fastness dim / then cast her in the waters wide, but like a mew was swiftly borne, / uplifted o'er the roaring tide. --the Earendillinwe _______________________________________________ bug-ed mailing list bug-ed@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-ed
