I do. Not because I want to write non-portable sed, but because I often come across scripts I want to use that use GNU sed features. I really don't see the point of your argument. There is a port and there is a maintainer for it. Where's your problem? I don't need KDE, Gnome, XFCE, or Emacs either, and all of those are in the ports tree. So what. > If I remember right, it features in-place editing, which regular sed doesn't > have, and that gnu scripts will tend to abuse... It also has a -r flag that turns on extended regular expressions. I don't know if OpenBSD's sed does extended regex, but it does not have a -r option so scripts that rely on this fail. -- stefan http://stsp.name PGP Key: 0xF59D25F0
