What is it that you are trying to do? The regex is looking for <optional non-space>optional space<optional non-space> and as there are no <> in the input nothing matches. The -n argument to sed quite useful to see this in which case you use the p command to print what matches. /Allan -- Allan Wind Life Integrity, LLC <http://lifeintegrity.com> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
