Always fun to edit a file using head, tail, cat, and echo.

Yep, had to do that once.

@SpaceLifeForm this is why I’m glad I can kind of use ed.

I haven’t needed to yet, but one of these days I’ll get my payoff. Any day now…

LOL. No ed or nano for me.

I would rather suffer in other ways.

BTW, the reason I had to edit that way was because I broke my userland and could not run vim.

As Linus would say, when you break it, you get to keep the pieces.

But when you break things, you learn things.
