That's the home page. I believe you meant to link the sed page
directly. When copying URLs from the specification, we need to copy the
framed URL, otherwise we always end up at the home page. The framed sed
page is at

Interesting. Thanks for mentioning. I wonder if I understand the
information. I tried to change a line and then append another. In both
FreeBSD's and GNU's sed, I the append takes place (and I thought they
would not if they were to obey the specification).
$ cat x.txt
a line
x
more lines
more lines
$ sed '/^x/{c\
hello
a\
hi
}' x.txt
a line
hello
hi
more lines
more lines
$

I don't need a range of lines to be changed, but I'd like to replace the
string only in the second line of the narrow region of interest. I
tried your idea and it works, so I guess that way I can be POSIX-compliant.

Thanks!
