UNIX in the MacIntosh (for sed people)

Hi,

I'm trying to use sed to process some files on Macs running OSX. Anyone know anything about Macs and sed?

Here's the problem

sed 's/^/ /g' test_file > endfile

(there are spaces betwen the second and third /, but the forum software compresses them)

This should put spaces at the beginning of every line (I'm fairly sure, tho' not positive about this). But it's only putting spaces at the beginning of the first line of a file.

Any thoughts? I've already had problems with Mac's idea of sed and the \n newline character (Mac's sed doesn't seem to recognize it). And downloading GNU's sed onto all the machines here (aobut 200) isn't an option, but we've got a lot of files to process.

Any help would be appreciated.

Best wishes,
Laurel Smilie
