Hi again. Sorry about all this mail. I noticed a couple more oddities; I don't know if they're bugs or not..
Searching for NUL characters using /^@/ matches any line, whether or not it contains NULs. and you can't all eliminate NUL characters with 1,$s/^@//g (that's a NUL there, control-V control-@. There doesn't seem to be a syntax for control characters other than \n and its friend) "list"ing a line containing control characters may overflow the specified line length. For example, if the line width is the default of 72 characters, a control characters after the 71st gets printed in the 72-75th spaces followed by a \ Half the command-line options are missing from the manual page and one is missing from the --help message The man page lists -G -s and -p "ed --help" also lists -h -V -l -v and also the long option names for these In reality it also responds to -r Thanks & sorry M _______________________________________________ bug-ed mailing list bug-ed@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-ed
