Oh, sorry, I meant something else. I meant two commands per _matched_
line, not per command line. Something like:
sed '/^Subject: / s/\[PHP3\] *//g s/\[PHP4BETA] *//g'
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Command 1 Command 2
i.e. process every line that matches /^Subject:/, first removing any
occurences of [PHP3], then -- any occurences of [PHP4BETA].
The above examble gives me an error message about unknown option to
's'.
