ed(1) (MLX Addendum)               (MLX)               ed(1) (MLX Addendum)

NAME
     ed, red - text editor (MLX addendum)

SYNOPSIS
     ed [-s] [-p string ] [-x] [-C] [file]

     red [-s] [-p string ] [-x] [-C] [file]

DESCRIPTION (International Functions)
     ed can process characters from supplementary code sets as well as
     ASCII characters.

     Searches and pattern matching with regular expressions are performed
     in character units, not in individual bytes.

     .    Matches any character from supplementary code sets.

     *    Matches zero or more occurrences of the given regular expression.

     .*   Matches any character string including the null string.

     [ ]  Matches any one character in the string enclosed by square brack-
          ets, or any one character with a code value within a range desig-
          nated using a minus () sign. When the characters in the range are
          from different code sets the minus sign is ignored, and either of
          the characters specifying the range may match.

     [^ ] Matches any one character not in the string enclosed by square
          brackets and not within any ranges designated using a minus ()
          sign. When the characters in a range are from different code
          sets, the minus sign is ignored.

     A prompt string containing characters from supplementary code sets can
     be designated in string using the -p option.

     Marks set by the k command must be ASCII lowercase letters.

WARNING
     Size indication
     The size of the file displayed on startup and after read/write by the
     e, r, and w commands is in bytes, not characters.
