## Complete the Rust implementation of `sed`
|
||||
|
||||
The `sed` (stream editor) utility is a fundamental Unix tool for parsing and transforming text. A Rust implementation has been started but requires significant work to achieve full compatibility with GNU `sed` and POSIX standards.
|
||||
|
||||
This project focuses on completing the existing Rust `sed` implementation to make it production-ready. The work involves implementing missing commands and flags, fixing edge cases, improving regular expression support, and ensuring the implementation passes the GNU test suite.
|
||||
|
||||
Key areas of work include:
|
||||
* Implementing missing `sed` commands and addressing flags
|
||||
* Handling complex regular expressions and backreferences
|
||||
* Supporting multi-line pattern space operations
|
||||
* Implementing hold space operations correctly
|
||||
* Adding support for GNU `sed` extensions
|
||||
* Fixing edge cases and improving error handling
|
||||
* Running and passing the GNU `sed` test suite
|
||||
* Performance optimization and memory safety improvements

## Rust implementation of `awk`
|
||||
|
||||
The goal of this project is to create a Rust-based implementation of `awk`, one of the most powerful and widely-used text processing utilities in Unix/Linux systems. The `awk` utility provides a complete programming language for pattern scanning and processing, making it essential for data extraction, report generation, and text transformation tasks.
