Upon closer read of the prior IBM link, I see that sed is not in that
gnu-utilities link. I've found sed for AIX but it's an RPM. It's also
part
of AIX Toolbox, but that's another RPM.<sigh>
I have a solution. I went to
http://bio.gsi.de/DOCS/AIX/aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu/packages/sed.html where I
downloaded sed for AIX 4.3. (The 5.x link seems to be broken, but that's OK
for this purpose...)
Not being an administrator on this System i, I extracted the tarfile and
moved $HOME/usr/local/bin/sed to $HOME/bin. (This is /home/dlovelady/bin on
the system in question.)
Then, I ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(PATH) VALUE('/home/DLOVELADY/bin:/usr/bin')
REPLACE(*YES)
Now, when I do the following:
QSH CMD('echo "abc" | sed "s:a:a\r\n:")
the output is...
a
bc
Press ENTER to end terminal session.
If you put this sed into a path above your normal path (for example
/usr/local/bin) and if the stars align, you will be using gnu sed, which,
IMO, is a far superior solution to whatever IBM has used here.
Alternatively, you could install in some obscure directory, and use full
path when you want the GNU version. For example: QSH CMD('echo "abc" |
/home/dlovelady/bin/sed "s:a:a\r\n:")
Good luck!
