Thanks for this useful tutorial.

You are right. This will print 21 to 29. My apologies. I’ll fix it.

cat file | sed ‘/.0/ d; 1,10 d; s/1/2/’
as mentioned at the end of the article (“that does however exactly the same – prints numbers 20 through 29”). I am getting results 21 to 29.
I guess the first sed command will delete 10,20.

Of course you can do that. Just make sure to use proper escape sequence(/) for ‘/’ character. Like this:

$ echo 'http://localhost:port/' | sed 's/http://localhost:port//aaa/'
aaa
$

Prettier always preferred over functional. Yet when you strip off all buzzes and whistles, you need tools to do the real job. And you’re right. For the last 30-40 years these have always been same tools :-) Thanks a lot for a warm comment and please visit my web-site again! :-)
