Hi,

I wonder that if/will sed support encoding setting?
Chinese character mostly use an so called GBK encoding which is double  
byte. The problem is that a ASCII letter which is single byte encoding can  
be inserted into the double byte Chinese character which means I cannot  
simple match a Chinese character by regexp '..'. Because '..' might match  
either a Chinese character or combination of a Ascii letter and half a  
Chinese character.

It seems that NLS just translate the message from English to Chinese. Does  
not help to this problem.

I usually use gVim that I can match character correctly with the encoding  
set to cp936. Though in gVim I can match both a double-byte Character and  
a single-byte ASCII letter by '.', I still want to know if if could be  
achieved with sed. Or does sed plan to put the encoding support into  
future versions that we can pass the encoding to sed either by environment  
variable or by commandline option?
