This is really weird...I modified my sed expression:[code]for i in $(cat txt)
do
echo $i | sed 's/|/ /g;s/ SEARCHTERM$//g;s/ /\r\n/g;/^[[:space:]]*$/ d;/^$/d'
done[/code
I tried adding the -E but I got a lot of error messages - not sure why that was included. So most of the whitespaces are gone...there used to be 5 whitespaces, now there is 1. So based on this information I have to assume there's something freaky going on with my input file?
