sed over writes my original file (using sed to remove leading spaces)
Hello and thx for reading this
I'm using sed to remove only the leading spaces in a file
Code:
bash-280R# cat foofile
some text
some text
some text
some text
some text
bash-280R#
bash-280R# sed 's/^ *//' foofile > foofile.use
bash-280R# cat foofile.use
some text
some text
some text
some text
some text
bash-280R#
That works great, however I really don't want to rename the file.
I was hoping this would work
Code:
bash-280R# sed 's/^ *//' foofile > foofile
It just overwrites foofile and makes it blank.
Is there a way to get around this and keep the original file name w/ the modification of removing leading spaces.
