sed modify problem in script
I am having problems with the following "sed" command only when it is issued within a bash script.
#!/bin/bash
cat config.xml | sed -e 's/yes/no/g' > newconfig.xml
When I enter this command from the command line it works like a charm, but when run in a script as shown it "zero's out" my output file.
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Nov 22 18:48 newconfig.xml

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.
