You are expert.
I would like to see your posts with little explanation like in this command lines you are doing something like editing the file and saving in some temp files then copying to the original file (correct me if my understanding is wrong).
Thanks & Regards,

The command:
directs the output from sed to a temporary file whose name ends with a period followed by the process ID of the shell that is running this command. If the sed command succeeds (exit status 0), the mv command is executed to replace the original file with the temporary file.
If the sed utility detects an error, the original file will not be changed, but after seeing the diagnostic message(s) produced by sed, you may need to manually remove the temporary file.

Hi All,
I'm relatively new to Unix scripting and am trying to get my head around piping.
I'm trying to take a header record from one file and prepend it to another file. I've done this by creating several temp files but i'm wondering if there is a cleaner way to do this.
I'm thinking... (10 Replies)

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN
fixnt
fixnt(1) Debian fixnt(1)NAME
fixnt - Filter for the Windows NT postscript printer driver.
SYNOPSIS
fixnt < BADFILE.ps > GOODFILE.ps
DESCRIPTION
The Windows NT postscript driver has a tendency to make broken postscript files, that are incompatible with psutils. fixnt is a filter
that fixes these problems, allowing the use of psnup(1).
The filter takes the broken postscript file on stdin, and outputs a fixed postscript file on stdout. It has no other form for invocation
and takes no options on the command-line.
OPTIONS
fixnt takes no options.
BUGS
fixnt does not check for NTPSOct94. For a workaround, use a sed(1) command to replace 'NTPSOct94' with 'NTPSOct95', like so:
sed 's/NTPSOct94/NTPSOct95/g'
This is particularly important for Windows NT 3.5 users.

REPORTING BUGS
Report bugs to the Authors, but avoid sending large postscript files.
Patches are always welcome; send to <bauer@itsm.uni-stuttgart.de>.
