hmm, that's not working the 'am' is still present in the file after it has ran? I have:

Code:
sed 's/^am$/jo/i' "$f" > "$f".tmp && cp -f "$f".tmp "$f" && rm "$f".tmp

Using OpenSolaris 10 btw, not sure what version of sed i have? will that matter?

the $ was not needed, just the ^

Code:
sed 's/^am/jo/i' "$f" > "$f".tmp && cp -f "$f".tmp "$f" && rm "$f".tmp

works now cheers Smilie

i see the ^ seems to overide differences between uppercase and lowercase?
