Sed command problem

Hi!

here is my problem :

$ more file
yopyop:FIToB8df02f:10200:351:yoyo:/home/yopyop:/usr/bin/ksh

$grep yopyop file | sed s/FIToB8df02f/passe/
yopyop

asse:10200:351:yoyo:/home/yopyop:/usr/bin/ksh

$more file
yopyop:FIToB8df02f:10200:351:yoyo:/home/yopyop:/usr/bin/ksh

...when i make the "sed", it doesn't record the substitution in the file. The file keeps the old recording...

Help please!

thx

you had piped the output of the sed command to the screen and not to file.

Try
$grep yopyop file | sed s/FIToB8df02f/passe/ > text.file

$more test.file
