Or this less-frequently-seen form:
< Earth sed -e s/microsoft/debian/g > Better_World
I prefer it on the one hand because it's a more accurate visual
representation of the logical data pipeline, but it is less idiomatic.
Of course, sed can take a filename, so this is probably the best:
sed -e s/microsoft/debian/g Earth > Better_World
Although, I think the regex replacement might be too simplistic. Would
"Debian Windows XP" really make the world a better place? ;-)
How about s/microsoft//g ?
good times,
Vineet
