Consider my humble _
hello.html
_ file, edited with mighty ed:
$ ed hello.html
28
,p
Hello world!
What's your general approach to edit inside that *title* HTML tag (bonus if you can edit inside any HTML tag)?
I tried a regular expression that matches inside the tag:
s/>.*/>My new title/p
My new title
u
.
Hello world!
But, sadly, you can see that I chopped my tag (and it would be way too much work to type out that _``_ bit every time!).
For further education, I browsed through Software Tools in Pascal page to 174—see https://archive.org/details/softwaretoolsinp00kern/page/174/mode/1up?view=theater page—and discovered the _&
_ special character that helpfully reaches the _middle_ of the sentence:
s/world/& again/p
Hello world again!
But, that's not quite right, since I want to substitute the middle, not just reach the middle.
