HI All,

Have some files which contains some string like,

"create .<table1> as"
"insert into .<table2> values",

i want to replace ".<table1>" with only "<table1>", i.e removing '.' character in ksh, i have written below code but it is not removing the dot character, any help?

for name in `cat $filename`;
do
sed 's/\.$name/$name/g' $name > temp; mv -f temp $name;
done


where $filename contains list of files.

Thanks in advance.
