Have been googling for some time now and every command I tried fails. I
want to use sed from the command line or use it in a windows batch file to
split on a pipe delimited file, windows server. The examples have \n as the
carriage return code, but all that happens is the pipe is replaced by the
letter n.
the file has a space between each line

Ah-ha, perlre is wrong then. It claims that space is 'A GNU extension
equivalent to [ \t] , "all horizontal whitespace"', but that must only
be true under the bytes pragma.

Be careful with using the byte pragma in that way, because it modifies
the behaviour of strings that have the utf8 flag on, which means you are
depending on the internal way that your perl executable implements
strings, IOW asking for trouble.

Geeze, that is the second time I have misread things. I obviously need
more sleep.

It's perlbug time.
There are many voices that want to change the meaning of \d to [0-9]
only (from Perl 5.12 on).
Maybe we should get a \pd to be a shortcut for \p{IsDigit}. (idem for D,
s, S, w, W, etc.)

I was referring to what I thought was an error in the docs, not an issue
with what it matched; however, I do have an issue with \d. It makes
dealing with numbers you can do math with a pain in the tuckus ([0-9] vs
\d).
