sed is great, but not that great
TIL: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1103149/non-greedy-regex-matching-in-sed
It turns out, sed
has no concept of a non-greedy match. You have to use perl
or some other advanced tool to get that regex feature. The workaround given at Stack Overflow only works if you have a single character ending match delimiter (in this case, it was [^/]+
to match until the next forward slash).
sed is great, but not that great is original content from devolve.
