Re: Strange Behavior s/ vs c\

 The s/// and c\ commands do not behave similarly.
 With the c\ command you cannot use parts of the pattern space, like you tried. It requires a hardcoded text as a replacement for the pattern space.
 And with the added quirk, that it doesn't execute anything after the c\
 command :-(

 Hi,Seders,
 Can someone have a look (Debian 8/GUN sed 4.2.2)?
 $ echo 'mail_location=mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u' |\
 sed -e 's/^mail_location\(.*\)$/#mail_location\1/'
 #mail_location=mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
 
 $ echo 'mail_location=mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u' |\
 sed -e '/^mail_location\(.*\)$/ c\#mail_location\1/'
 #mail_location1/
 
 Results are not the same with s/ & c\!
 Q. What am I do wrong?
