Is it possible to spread a sed command over multiple lines, to improve
readability (for the sake of future maintenance)? If so, what
character is used to break the line and what are the rules?
For example, I would like to re-write the command:
sed -e 's/\.//g' -e 's/\,//g' -e 's/\\//g' "$1" | sort -u > foo
as:
sed -e 's/\.//g'
-e 's/\,//g'
-e 's/\\//g' "$1"
| sort -u > foo
and be able to add additional lines such as:
-e 's/[0-9]//g'
