Sed bug in OS X?
I've been playing around with sed for a few days now and find that regular expressions never work inside sed s/// on Mac OS 10.2.5. Has anyone else bumped up against this problem?
For example, the "sed" segment of the following always fails no matter how items are escaped:
cd /path/to/directory
egrep -a '<([\w]+)[^>]*>[^<]*</\1>' *.JPG | sed 's/<\([^>]+\)>/tag_attributes: \1/g'
Short of using Perl and laboriously opening each file walking through every line in every file and using Perl's s/// operator, is there another tool for doing this sort of stuff purely in unix?
Thanks
Ken
