Problem with 'sed' command while using HTML tags
Hello,
I am using sed as follows -
sed 's/CONTACT SYSTEMS! Some payments have been rejected/<B><font color="red" size="5.0pt"CONTACT SYSTEMS! Some payments have been rejected</font></B>/' $REPORT_FILE
But while executing this, I am getting the error as -
sed: command garbled
& hence the string is not getting replaced with the replacement string in HTML tags. Please help me in this. I am a newbie to using 'sed'.
I am using 'ksh' shell.

IMPRESSIVE-GETTRANSITIONS(1) Debian GNU/Linux manual IMPRESSIVE-GETTRANSITIONS(1)
NAME
impressive-gettransitions - Generate Impressive info scripts for LaTeX presentations
SYNOPSIS
impressive-gettransitions FILE.tex
DESCRIPTION
A simple script to produce a .info file for use with Impressive, using special comments in a LaTeX/Beamer file. FILE.tex is a file to be
parsed into .info file. For each /fullpath/blah.tex /fullpath/blah.pdf.info gets produced.
SYNTAX
In the LaTeX document, impressive-gettransitions counts the pages to determine the PDF slide number of each one.
The simpler page changes are automatically detected, that is:
egin{frame} and:
pause
Other, more elaborated page changes must be noted with a %O comment:
item<1-> Foo
item<2-> Bar %O
The transition to apply can be specified in a %O comment:
egin{frame} %O SlideUp
OPERATION
When the .info file corresponding to the LaTeX document already exist, impressive-gettransitions does not clear it, but only adds the
transitions if finds to it.
Thus, if you modified your document in a way that requires to completely replace the transitions, manually clear the PageProps section of
the .info file. This can be done by running the following sed command:
sed -i -e "/^PageProps = {/,/^}/d" FILE.info
