Hi, I have a quick question about sed and the r (read) command, whenever I use it on my mac I get an error that says
sed: \r: No such file or directory. Although the script works fine and behaves as it is intended, I would like to get rid of the pesky error message because I need to incorporate this command into a larger script and the error message tends to mess things up.
Here is an example of the script, I am also using the inplace option -i
I've read some where that mac sed does not support the read command is this accurate? Is there a way around this?
Thanks very much

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.
SEE ALSO shtool(1), sed(1).
