9945-2-35.3 _____________________________________________________________________________ Topic: Sed editing commands Relevant Sections: 4.55.7.3 Classification: Ambiguous Defect Report: ----------------------- Reference: Page 410, Section 4.55.7.3, "sed Editing Commands". (i) Lines 8793-8744: Was it the intent of the standard to change historical practice by not having the 'n' and 'N' commands branch to the end of the script if the encounter the end of the input? Please clarify this. (Keith Bostic) WG15 response for 9945-2:1993 ----------------------------------- The standard is unclear regarding the specific behavior of the sed commands 'n' and 'N' when the end of input is reached while in a script, and no conformance distinction can be made between alternative implementations based on this. This is being referred to the sponsor. Rationale for Interpretation: ----------------------------- None. _____________________________________________________________________________
