			default "--script" operand have to be prefixed with the operand name.

			The string1 operand usually contains the regular expression matched 
			against a line for all commands except for command y where string1 
			contains the source characters for the translation.
			
			The string2 operand contains the replacement string for the 
			substitute command s. It contains the appended, inserted or changed 
			text for the commands a, i and c, respectively, and the destination 
			characters for the translate command y. All other commands ignore
			the string2 operand.
