Sed is a Unix command. Therefore it follows Unix line end conventions. If it didn't, it would be broken, and many scripts that rely on its correct behavior would also be broken. I don't see why you would expect otherwise. It's like meeting an English-speaking person and expecting him to also understand French or Hindi because other people understand those languages. -- Bob Miller K<bob> kbobsoft software consulting http://kbobsoft.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [email protected] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
