"Point is i want to save in long line form but view and edit in wrapped form - just like one does in gedit or leafpad." [James Freer, Wed, 14 Nov 2012 20:35:23 +0000]
The use of 'sed' may well be fine for the stated viewing purpose. But I would *not* recommend using 'sed' for general editing!!!
Sure and I did ask "Why?" (why save in long line form and edit in wrapped form,) as I didn't understand why not just edit it wrapped and then convert it when unwrapped is needed. Maybe there is a reason, but it seemed like a preference rather than a functional need. I wasn't advocating sed for general editing!
Hope that clarifies,
