If you have a sed script that is executable as in the first line starts with #! /usr/bin/sed -f and the following lines are like:/this repetitive line/d /and another repetitive line to go/d This all works great. You just make the file executable and use it as a filter if you want to remove any instance of those lines in text. How does one embed a command in this filter to make sed understand an extended or modern regular expression like: /part 1[[:space:]]text\/html[[:space:]]/dThis is normally the -e flag but I haven't figured out how to put it in the script. I would like to either use it to make that one line show up as an extended regular expression or make sed run the entire script in the -e mode.
sed(1) says it should be -E. Looks like it will only work on the whole script.
