while running this : sed -i "s/^#$str/$str/" *.txt
m getting this error : sed: illegal option -- i

& if i try : sed "s/^#$str/$str/" *.txt
i get : sed: command garbled: s/^#ritu/ritu

& if i try : sed "s/\#$collname/$collname" *.txt
i get : sed: command garbled: s/\#ritu/ritu

Smilie i tried the chekcing the man files for sed - it is not listing any option as "i" - it only has "-f", "-e" & "-d"
I am executing in the bash shell - Does that make any difference - Or is there anything else I can change?
