Operating Systems BSD jobs -l | sed ... = nothing!? Post 302599398 by uiop44 on Friday 17th of February 2012 03:26:31 AM

jobs -l | sed ... = nothing!?

I can't seem to filter the output of jobs -l (/bin/sh).
Never had a problem with this on NetBSD.
Really strange.
It must be something really obvious I'm over looking.
What could it be?

Code:
jobs -l |sed 's/\(.\{40\}\)\(.*\)/\1/'

I can redirect it to a file though.

Code:
jobs -l > .j &&
sed 's/\(.\{40\}\)\(.*\)/\1/' .j
