Remove all lines before a match with sed

Question

I'm using sed to filter a list of files. I have a sorted list of folders and I want to get all lines after a specific one. To do this task I'm using the solution described here which works pretty well with any input I tried but it doesn't work when the match is on the first line. In that case sed will remove all lines of the input

Here it's an example:

(ssh) fabio@s2 : ~
[0] % ls -1 /
bin
boot
...
sys
tmp
usr
var
vmlinuz

(ssh) fabio@s2 : ~
[0] % ls -1 / | sed '1,/tmp/d'
usr
var
vmlinuz

(ssh) fabio@s2 : ~
[0] % ls -1 / | sed '1,/^bin$/d'
# sed will delete all lines from the input stream

How should I change the command to consider also the limit case when first line is matched by regexp?

BTW sed '1,1d' correctly works and remove the first line only.

Answer 1

try this (GNU sed only):

sed '0,/^bin$/d'

..output is:

$sed '0,/^bin$/d' file
boot
...
sys
tmp
usr
var
vmlinuz
