'F' is a field number (0=whole line [default], 1=first word, 2=second word…).
'C' is the starting column number (from 1), default=1.
'K' is the ending column number >= C, default=infinite.
'N' is the maximum number of characters in the field, default=infinite.
Only one of '-K' or '+N' can be specified.
The local modifier characters 'bdlqrtux' have the same meaning on a
per-field basis as -b, -d, -l, -q, -r, -t, -u and -x (which take effect
globally).

StreamEdit # scriptable text editor
StreamEdit [option…] file…
-d # delete lines (don't copy them)
-e statements # add 'statements' to the script
-o file # direct output to file in a "safe" manner
-p # print progress information
-s file # specify a file containing a script to execute
-set variable[=string] # set the value of a variable
A script consists of zero or more of:
<address> <command>…
Addresses take the forms (highest to lowest precedence):
( address ) # override precedence
! address # match line not matching the address
address1 && address2 # match line matching address1 AND address2
address1 || address2 # match line matching address1 OR address2
address1 , address2 # match address1…address2
/regular expression/ # a line that matches the expression
• # matches BEFORE the first line
N # matches the Nth line
$ # matches the last line
∞ # matches AFTER the last line
A regular expression starting with 'ç' is case-sensitive. Any '•' must
follow the 'ç'.
Commands are:
Append <text> # append text to append buffer
Exit [status] # exit with zero or specified status
Change <text> # set contents of edit buffer
Delete # clear contents of edit buffer
Insert <text> # append text to insert buffer
Next # proceed with next line
Print <text> # Print the text
[-To file ] # directed to the specified file
[-AppendTo file] # appended to the specified file
Replace /pat/ <text> # do replacement
[-c count] # specify repeat count (N or ∞)
Set variable <text> # set variable's value
[-a] # append to variable's current value
[-i] # insert at front of variable's current value
Option AutoDelete # append "1,$ Delete" to script
Where <text> consists of zero or more of:
"a string" # the specified text
'a string' # the specified text
. # the current line (the edit buffer)
variableName # the contents of the named string variable
®N # an "®" variable set by a regular expression
-from <filename> # the next line from the file, where filename
# is a string or a variable name
-n # suppress newline at end
If <text> is empty, it defaults to "." (the current line).
