[comp.unix.questions] Labels in sed

creusja@mentor.cc.purdue.edu (Joan Creus) (09/30/90)

Hi, folks!

Can you help me with a problem? I'm trying to use the b and t commands in sed,
and all I get is:

   sed: Label too long.

Shortening the labels didn't work, of course, and the man pages don't help
much. I must be missing a small, stupid thing. Can you help me out? Just an
example of a sed script with labels would be great.

Thanks in advance,

			Joan

Try not putting anything on the same line after your label name.
