[Bug-ed] Not failing on no match.

[Steve Traylen]

This is a support request rather than a bug but not anywhere else
obvious to ask.

How do I avoid an error when a match does not work. I want to move to
a line if it exists or
else just stay where I am.

e.g

# grep string /etc/passwd

# ed /etc/passwd
1472
m/string/
?
q
# echo $?
2

In this case string is not in /etc/passwd and I want to just carry on
editing after this.

(NB, I'm not really using ed on the passwd file, just an example)

 Steve
