This is a verbatim from an IRC chat:
<glazou> are interested in contributing?
<glazou> s/are/are you
<xxxx> looool, nerd
<xxxx>
<xxxx> unfortunately i didn't grow up with the terminal but i think i heard of s/
Comments
Heh, guess xxxx doesn't do sed or perl
Déjà, IRC ça fait pas vraiment 'in' !
Try this for feeling old: http://xkcd.com/891/
Yeah, I had someone tell me they thought that was a cool new convention not long ago.
Moreover you made a syntax error : you need a final slash !
@JulienW: not in sed
Another emacs user using vim commands
Oh yes !
$ sed 's/toto/titi' toto.txt
sed: -e expression #1, char 11: unterminated `s' command
@JulienW: nomdezeus
1) The trailing slash is not required in Bash, so you can still claim you're right.
2) Did you know this also works in Skype? It actually modifies your last message by applying the regexp substitution. I thought that was a rather nice trick.
c'est bien vue bravo pour avoir repris celle-ci!
Très bon
En passant, une devinette: Comment générer une suite de caractères aléatoires ?
Réponse: coller un stagiaire devant VI et lui demander d'en sortir.
