> Note for OS X users: The version of sed installed has different options than the Linux one. Notably, it does not have the extended-regex option -r. I recommend building the latest version from here: http://sed.sourceforge.net/ The option is there, just different: -E (the same as grep)
They are the de facto standard. Having the need to compile all these basic stuff for any scripting to be portable is a nightmare.
We just need now the 2048 in assembler, and we'll be done! Just joking, I love these and I'm unemployed. Keep'em coming!

Have someone made Emacs version? Isn't it more easy to write it in elisp compared to sed.
Sed awesome. Also, disappointed no one has blatantly embedded https://github.com/progranism/Bitcoin-JavaScript-Miner to put all this time wasting to good u$e.

Why doesn't Apple just ship with standard GNU utils? They are the de facto standard. Having the need to compile all these basic stuff for any scripting to be portable is a nightmare.

Sadly that javascript miner is stupidly slow. You could have a top Hacker News post and still only make pennies.

If your well-beloved GNU coreutils did not breach every POSIX standard and add new flags to every program, no such problem would exist. Seriously, I do not know whether Mac OS is using a custom implementation of UNIX utilities, or distributin BSD coreutils, but I know that it is a licensed, certified UNIX.
At the end of the day, whether some script works is the issue, not a UNIX branding.
