Package: sed
Version: 4.2.1-9
Severity: normal
The following script inserts the contents of a file after the first
occurrence of a regex:
~$ { seq 1 3 ; seq 1 3 ; } | sed -n -e 'p ; /2/!b ; r /etc/hostname' -e ':loop
; n ; p ; b loop'
1
2
feather
3
1
2
3
If I combine the two -e arguments using a semicolon, the script stops working:
~$ { seq 1 3 ; seq 1 3 ; } | sed -n -e 'p ; /2/!b ; r /etc/hostname ; :loop ; n
; p ; b loop'

If I combine the two -e arguments using a newline, the script works:
~$ { seq 1 3 ; seq 1 3 ; } | sed -n -e 'p ; /2/!b ; r /etc/hostname
:loop ; n ; p ; b loop'

Possibly the 'r' command doesn't know when to stop reading the filename?
