Dear Kpneal and Polytropon, Thank you both for your recommendations.

Thank you for any and all comments. Yours truly, Lee I use vi for this, and I've gone to the trouble of compiling FreeBSD's vi AKA "nvi" on the Linux systems I'm forced to use. The vi/nvi option for this is "set number". This is a good suggestion, as vi (and vi-like editors) are very common among programmers. Within X, which helps me to organize my workflow consisting of the use of terminals, browser windows, debuggers, manpages, Midnight Commander and other tools, I tend to use gviim (a graphical "enclosure" for vim, "vi improved"). I didn't improve or customize it much - just added line numbers, syntax highlighting and a few other settings. So if you are in X, check out gvim to see if you like it. If you are in text mode, use the system's vi. You can enrich it with a custom configuration file, just like with gvim (which uses ~/.vimrc so it doesn't conflict with the real vi). Your suggestion of vi is hereby seconded. :-) However, for "quick and dirty" stuff (or anything that isn't actually real programming) I use mcedit via PF4 out of the Midnight Commander. This editor is very nice and powerful, but doesn't have line numbers.

I don't even know how to debug this. These are all in scripts and delivery instructions that I have had working for over a decade. And when I run them from the command line, they work as expected. The path for seeking executables should not be at issue. I use the PATH variable in my crontabs and set it to the same PATH as at a terminal. I have encountered this problem with both grep and GNU sed (gsed, from the port). This is all stuff that worked until recently, and worked for years under Linux. The only change I think I've made is to implement an IPv6 tunnel. I hope, really hope, I can safely say that's irrelevant. I use zsh, also a choice that's over a decade old, for both my command line and to run scripts. I've never liked regular expressions. I think they are an awful kludge. But unfortunately, a major part of my workflow depends on them working correctly and *predictably*. Has anyone else encountered problems with this? How do you fix it?
