Mea culpa. Someone contacted me off-list querying the validity of my sed
statement which highlighted that my solution description was overly
terse.
Of course what I was suggesting was:
sed G sourcefile
and practically used as something like:
sed G sourcefile > newfile
or:
sed -i .orig -e G sourcefile
e.g.:
%cat > sourcefile
Line one.
Line two.
Line three.
%D
%sed G sourcefile
Line one.
Line two.
Line three.
