Issues in sed command
I use
Code:
SMP Tue Aug 18 15:51:48 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

We have a user-defined command called "submit" which will open a vi terminal in which we need to enter the description at 24th line and save it.

In order to simplify this, i decided to create another command in which the description can be passed as an argument.

Code:
 function submit1
{
  submit|sed -ie '24 c\ "$1" ' `ls -rt /tmp/tmp.*|sed -n '1p'`
}

But it throws the below error and hangs:
Code:
Vim: Warning: Output is not to a terminal

Any thoughts on this error?

Thanks
