An [Acronym] for __S__tream __ED__itor

A very simple ProgrammingLanguage geared towards text manipulation for files larger than the avaliable [RAM]. [SED] scripts are very hard to read if they try to do anything even moderatly complex; you're better of using [AWK] or [Perl] in such cases. The latter has copied many concepts from both of the former languages.
