Issues with using sed with word delimiters \< and \>
sed is not applying /d "delete line" option when I also include match word options \< and \>
examples...
echo cat | sed '/\<cat\>/d'
will return cat for some reason
echo cat | sed "/\<cat\>/d"
will also still return cat.
Of course I can just run this... echo cat | sed '/cat/d' and it will apply delete option to line thus returning nothing.
But I need to match the word exactly.... so any advise of how to get around this?
I'm running on AIX. Same results with with ksh or bash shell.
