I understand sed will



  1. Applies all instructions on line 1, then line 2...

  2. Previous instructions may change the pattern space so the next instruction will operate on that modified pattern space (instead of the original text)

The example is:



sample.txt file



pig cow



Command



sed -e 's/pig/cow/; s/cow/horse/;' sample.txt



Expected Output



horse horse



Real Output



horse cow



The reason for my expected output is:



  1. First instruction substituted pig with cow in the pattern space

  2. Second instruction substituted 2 pigs with 2 horses in the pattern space
