Hi Franklin,
The echo | sed works fine, but the moment i try to the same thing in the file it doesnt work.
SED works and substitutes text if I specify any other text/pattern (which doesnt have any wild character or forward slash)
cat file1.txt | sed -e 's/DOCTYPE/ /' > file2.txt
But somehow when I use wild characters in sed its not working. I can specify the url since it may change with time.
I have to remove the url from following stmt
<!DOCTYPE tag SYSTEM "http://someurl/fileabc.dtd">
Thanks
