sed command is saving output as blank file

Hi,

I am working on a script where I am adding adding colors to few of the info in the output.
Now , after that is done , I see colour codes in log files which I don't want to see.SmilieSmilieSmilieSmilie
So , I tried using sed command in script as below which gives me o/p (new.log) as blank file

Code:
checkpoint()
{
sed  "s/\x1B\[([0-9]{1,3}((;[0-9]{1,3})*)?)?[m|K]//g" my.log >new.log
}

If I run this on commandline
Code:
sed  "s/\x1B\[([0-9]{1,3}((;[0-9]{1,3})*)?)?[m|K]//g" my.log

output is fine as expected.

I am using the command in switch statement as
Code:
fo1 | tee -a my.log
check_point

I am using AIX.Please tell me what am I missingSmilieSmilieSmilieSmilie

Mod Comment edit by bakunin: please use - instead of superfluous heaps of emoticons - some more CODE-tags than you do now. It might not only earn the goodwill of notoriously morose moderators - me - but might help to be taken more seriously too.
