sed command

I have a file which is variable in length,
and has a ^ character as a delimiter

Eg

^a^bb^ccc^dd^e^
^ffff^gggg^h^I^jj^

There are always 6 delimiters and 5 fields

I need to strip off the leading and trailing ^ using sed

I had thought that
cat {filename} | sed -e 's/^^//' -e 's/\^$//' > {filename}
would do the trick.
But this works for the first 5 or 6 records, and then stops, without processing the remainder of the records in {filename}

What am I doing wrong ?
