Hi list,

A silly question here:

A simple list I wrote to test
=====================
$ cat test
#!/usr/bin/sh
#
while true;
do
        echo hello
        echo ""
        sleep 2
done
=====================

if I run it as the following:
$ ./test > tmp.txt

of course I can get something from tmp.txt file

And if I run it as
[aubrey-...@~]./test | sed '/^$/d'
hello
hello
hello

Blank line will be filtered by sed, but if I run it as
[aubrey-...@~]./test | sed '/^$/d' > tmp.txt

Nothing is in the tmp.txt.

What's wrong I did?

Thanks,
-Aubrey
