We're proofing Carl's & Rex's commands:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] rik $ cat sedsort.txt fsck ftp find file figner few
[EMAIL PROTECTED] rik $ sed -e 's/a\ few/two/g' < sedsort.txt > sedsort2.txt [EMAIL PROTECTED] rik $ cat sedsort2.txt fsck ftp find file figner few
The command was supposed to turn the text "a few" into "two" - your test input data did not feature "a few" and therefore no transformation was performed.
