Re: lines matching N and N+1

Thanks for checking. That's really interesting.

Here is a screenshot (google chrome) of what 
I see (message 9157) on windows xp computer:

http://tinyurl.com/b3yr53p is the same screenshot
in a more friendly url.

Here is a restatement of the problem I see:

#1 (\bfoo\b syntax) script shows fine.
#2 (verbatim GT LT) script mangled (messed up).
#3 (GT LT HTML entities) script shows fine.

By mangled, I mean "foo", "bar", LT, GT are omitted. 
LT and GT are "less than" and "greater than". I 
hesitate to use the real symbols, because I'm 
arguing that yahoo groups deletes them sometimes.

I also tested with firefox and IE on windows
xp PC. Exactly same problem, same appearance.

Next, I tested on ipod touch (safari) and a 
windows 7 PC (IE). Again, same problem. In all 
my tests, #2 script NEVER displayed correctly.

It's hard to believe there could be a technical
glitch with yahoo groups, that it might delete
parts of sed scripts using GT and LT. That would 
be downright evil, if yahoo mangled our syntax.

Seems more likely something I'm doing wrong. But 
in that case, I can't explain why problem occurs 
in so many browsers and hardware platforms.

So, if you see the script correctly in message
9157 (#2 and #3 appear the same), could you 
possibly send a screenshot, and how you viewed?

Thanks,
Daniel
