First,
sed version 3.02 is 19 years old. (!)
It is highly recommended to upgrade to a newer version.
sed version 4.4 was released just this month.
I'm quite certain that the 'sed' you use on cygwin is newer than
the 'sed' you use directly in cmd.exe.
Second,
Instead of replacing the beginning of the line,
consider using the 'i' (insert') command.
The following should work even on sed-3.02:
sed -e '1i\' -e 'ciao' comandi-capture.txt
To learn more about this syntax, see the 'i' command in this section:
https://www.gnu.org/software/sed/manual/sed.html#Other-Commands
As such I'm closing this ticket, but discussion can
continue by replying to this thread.

Hi Gordon,
thanks for the information; ok I'll try in this way. Do you know the http link where I can download the updated sed.exe for windows ?
Currently I founded only this link for windows OS: http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/
but I believe that it's not the updated package.
Best Regards,
Enrico

The cygwin project [https://cygwin.com] has an up-to-date sed 4.4
available for windows
[https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2017-02/msg00020.html]
<bias>
and a maintainer that's more responsive than the unxutils folks (seeing
as how that maintainer is me, and I read this list :)

Cygwin is the best source for gnu programs on windows (and non-gnu programs, too).
It is highly recommended to use cygwin.
If you absolutely can not use cygwin,
you'll find here links for sed versions compiled for windows:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-sed/2017-01/msg00076.html
but please be aware these are unofficial, unsupported versions.
