Jul 15, 2020 at 13:14 comment added fra-san @EnricoMariaDeAngelis The point is portability. sed is found on any POSIX-compliant system (or that at least tries to comply), while rev and tac aren't among the standard utilities (This does not mean that they can't be found on non-GNU/Linux systems, though).
Jul 15, 2020 at 12:58 comment added Enlico Nice, I like sed, but since it is essentially also doing the 2 step work that can be done with rev and tac, I guess there's little point in using it instead of those two. But I'll really take time to look a bit more into the first command ;)
