Heavily enhanced version of sed(1)

System: DragonFly

Maintainer: [email protected] (as in FreeBSD)
Categories: editors, textproc
Package size: 94.7 KiB, 287.3 KiB installed

Description

This is a version of sed based on GNU sed. It is not a version of GNU sed, though.

There are several new features (including in-place editing of files, extended regular expression syntax and a few new commands) and some bug fixes; see the NEWS file for a brief summary and the ChangeLog for more detailed descriptions of changes.

The biggest note, i think is the *huge* speed difference, where regular sed might take a few mins, super-sed can take only seconds this is not true in all cases, and sometimes you have modify your regexp syntax, however for the speed increase, it might be worth it.
