About:
ssed is a stream editor implementation that provides enhanced regular expression capabilities compared to standard sed. It supports Perl-compatible regular expressions (PCRE), allowing for more powerful pattern matching and text manipulation. This makes it a valuable tool for complex text processing tasks where standard sed syntax is insufficient.
Key Features:
  • Perl-Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE) support
  • Enhanced pattern matching capabilities
  • Backward compatibility with standard sed syntax
  • Advanced text substitution and transformation features
Use Cases:
  • Complex log file parsing and data extraction
  • Advanced text transformation in shell scripts
  • Search and replace operations with sophisticated regex patterns
Alternatives:
  • GNU sed – Standard sed with basic regex; ssed offers more powerful PCRE features
  • perl – More versatile but heavier; ssed provides sed-like interface with regex power
  • ripgrep – Optimized for searching; ssed focuses on stream editing transformations
