Well, that's what -i (in-place edit) of sed does. If your version of sed doesn't support it, then temporary file can be used, just like you did. You could do without, with a (rather obscure) construct:
Same thing with cut
Or, using a subshell instead of a block:
But, in my opinion, these are quite artificial, and it's much more clear doing:

I have a large file with fields delimited by '|', and I want to run some analysis on it. What I want to do is count how many times each field is populated, or list the frequency of population for each field.
I am in a Sun OS environment.
Thanks,

ps2ascii
PS2ASCII(1) Ghostscript Tools PS2ASCII(1)NAME
ps2ascii - Ghostscript translator from PostScript or PDF to ASCII
SYNOPSIS
ps2ascii [ input.ps [ output.txt ] ]
ps2ascii input.pdf [ output.txt ]
DESCRIPTION
ps2ascii uses gs(1) to extract ASCII text from PostScript(tm) or Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) files. If no files are specified on
the command line, gs reads from standard input; but PDF input must come from an explicitly-named file, not standard input. If no output
file is specified, the ASCII text is written to standard output.
ps2ascii doesn't look at font encoding, and isn't very good at dealing with kerning, so for PostScript (but not currently PDF), you might
consider pstotext (see below).
FILES
Run "gs -h" to find the location of Ghostscript documentation on your system, from which you can get more details.
