Hi Gary,

A sample of my entry is,
/logs/dvgbiau/batch/unit_test-20120131_000943.log

If I use sed 's/.log/.log.bz2/' filename > filename.new to make the replacement, it will become
.log.bz2s/dvgbiau/batch/unit_test-20120131_000943.log

However I'm expecting something like below?
/logs/dvgbiau/batch/unit_test-20120131_000943.log.bz2

Thanks
