I keep bumping up against this, so I thought I'd throw this question out to those who understand sed better than I do. What I'm trying to do is to clean up the contents of some files (/sys/i386/conf/GENERIC would be a good example) to get more readable diffs. To that end, I'm trying to use sed to - delete commented lines - remove inline comments - remove trailing spaces and/or tabs - delete blank lines, and/or lines containing just spaces and/or tabs - expand tabs Thanks!
