Hi

I'm trying to use sed to filter out some of my 'stupid' (microtec)
compiler warnings.  My script is very simple almost works as i expect by
deleting those lines matching the partial string.

nmake |sed "/requires run-time/d"

However in contradiction to 'sed FAQ 014', section 3.1 ..."Sed takes a
script of editing commands and applies each command, in order, to each
line of input. After all the commands have been applied to the first
line of input, that line is output.", the behaviour seen is that the
entire nmake build is completed BEFORE (ie. not after each line of
output) sed executes.  This is of course very frustrating since the
stdout stream isn't visible until sed has finished, ie. at the end of
the compilation (which can very easily take over 5 minutes!).

Environment;
- winNT SP4
- sed 3.02 1998

Any help would be highly appreciated (pref. via email as i don't have
newsgroup access).

many thanks,
Tibor
