Re: [LUG] Mass editing text files?

 

OK, I've gone with sed but I have one problem :

cat about.shtml | sed -e '/<head>/a\ <!--#include
virtual=\"includes\/google.html\" -->'

gives me my desired output, printed in the terminal (i.e. prints the
entire about.shtml file, but with <!--include... added to it in the
appropriate place). but if I change that to:

cat about.shtml | sed -e '/<head>/a\ <!--#include
virtual=\"includes\/google.html\" -->' > about.shtml

trying to write the output to about.shtml, I get a blank file - what
am I doing wrong?!
