Please create a learning plan for the "GNU ed" editor, very similar like GPU plan. It should be for one month with weeks instead of quarters. The target group should be very advanced programmers. Include advanced regular expression topics and bash integration with GNU ed. Please create a learning plan for the "GNU ed" editor, very similar like GPU plan. It should be for 5 days, instead four quarters. The target group should be very advanced programmers. Include advanced regular expression topics and bash integration with GNU ed. Make sure, that such learnings like `ed out.txt <<< $'/text/\ns/text/something differnt/\nwq\n'` are for sure included in the learning plan.
