Hi, I think it's a typo in the cheat sheet; at least for s///, \i is the correct syntax to reference "tagged patterns":
% echo foo bar | ssam 's/([a-z]+) ([a-z]+)/\2 \1/' bar foo I lack familiarity with sam/sam's language to be certain, but I doubt it'd make much sense to have it for other commands; sam(1) describes it for s/// only. >From a quick glance, there seems to be other "typos" in the cheat sheet[0]: s/"([ˆ"]*)"/‘‘1’’/ replace "hello" with ‘‘hello’’ in selection /(.+0+/ matches blocks of text separated by blank lines Cheers, [0]: http://9p.io/sources/contrib/steve/doc/sam-refcard.pdf On Thu, Aug 22, 2024 at 5:18 AM <kalter...@gmail.com> wrote: > # substitute #'th tagged pattern > > > Are there any examples?
