Dear Rudic,
My main aim was to overwrite with sed -i , for that reason I kindly asked if that was possible to execute with sed command but Perl is also okay.
Regarding your sed command, seems like my file is not compatible with your scenario. The terminal is waiting for printing the output but no action.


Kind regards
Boris

Dear Rudic,
Even though I said "sorted out" but I see that sometimes newly created files are not accepting sed or perl command for this issue and it asks me to convert newly created files to unix with dos2unix command. Pc is running under ubuntu 18.04 bionic
How may I get rid of this? Maybe this could be a new thread topic.


Thanks in advance
Boris
