shouldn't this append "foo" after every line?
sam gives slightly different behaviour here
(but still questionable) - it appends "foo" after
every empty line.
is this actually a bug, or have i misunderstood the
way that '$' is meant to work?
it does seem strange that in the following edit
command, the guard never matches anything.
Edit ,x/foo$/g/foo$/d
You misunderstood how Pike regexps work, and it's a bug in sam. The
pattern /./ matches everything EXCEPT a newline, which would be
matched with $. The guard, then, should never work, as the following
proves:
,x/.*/g/$/p
As expected, no output (for sam too). So acme is acting correctly. Why
sam does something, then, with a// is beyond me (a long undiscovered
bug, perhaps?).
The following worked for me for both sam and acme:
,x/$/a/foo/

Edit ,x/.*\n/g/\n/a/foo
That appends foo at the beginning of the next line. Try i/foo/.
