I am writing a file that will delete a line from all files in a directory.
sed "/#Text_to_be_deleted/d" #files_from_ls >tmp
mv tmp #files_from_ls
For some reason, whenever I test it, it will not delete the line, but it will work if I enter only one file. Is there a way to fix this? (3 Replies)

CONDOM(1) General Commands Manual CONDOM(1)
NAME
condom - protection against viruses and prevention of child processes
SYNOPSIS
condom [options] [processid]
DESCRIPTION
condom provides protection against System Transmitted Viruses (STVs) that may invade your system. Although the spread of such viruses
across a network can only be abated by aware and cautious users, condom is the only highly effective means of preventing viruses from
entering your system (see celibacy(1)). Any data passed to condom by the protected process will be blocked, as specified by the value of
the -s option (see OPTIONS below). condom is known to defend against the following viruses and other malicious afflictions:
o AIDS
o Herpes Simplex (genital varieties)
o Syphilis
o Crabs
o Genital warts
o Gonhorrea
o Chlamydia
o Michelangelo
o Jerusalem
When used alone or in conjunction with pill(1), sponge(1), foam(1), and/or setiud(3), condom also prevents the conception of a child
process. If invoked from within a synchronous process, condom has, by default, an 80% chance of preventing the external processes from
becoming parent processes (see the -s option below). When other process contraceptives are used, the chance of preventing a child process
from being forked becomes much greater. See pill(1), sponge(1), foam(1), and setiud(3) for more information.
If no options are given, the current user's login process (as determined by the environment variable USER) is protected with a Trojan
rough-cut latex condom without a reservoir tip. The optional ``processid'' argument is an integer specifying the process to protect.
NOTE: condom may only be used with a hard disk. condom will terminate abnormally with exit code -1 if used with a floppy disk (see DIAG-
NOSTICS below).
OPTIONS
The following options may be given to condom:
-b brand
brands are as follows:
trojan (default)
ramses
sheik
goldcoin
fourex
-m material
The valid materials are:
latex (default)
saranwrap
membrane
WARNING! The membrane option is not endorsed by the System Administrator General as an effective barrier against certain
viruses. It is supported only for the sake of tradition.
-f flavor
The following flavors are currently supported:
plain (default)
apple
banana
cherry
cinnamon
licorice
orange
peppermint
raspberry
spearmint
strawberry
-r Toggle reservoir tip (default is no reservoir tip)
-s strength
strength is an integer between 20 and 100 specifying the resilience of condom against data passed to condom by the protected
process. Using a larger value of strength increases condom's protective abilities, but also reduces interprocess communication. A
smaller value of strength increases interprocess communication, but also increases the likelihood of a security breach. An
extremely vigorous process or one passing an enormous amount of data to condom will increase the chance of condom's failure. The
default strength is 80%.
-t texture
Valid textures are:
rough (default)
ribbed
bumps
lubricated
(provides smoother interaction between processes)
WARNING: The use of an external application to condom in order to reduce friction between processes has been proven in benchmark tests to
decrease condom's strength factor! If execution speed is important to your process, use the ``-t lubricated'' option.
DIAGNOSTICS
condom terminates with one of the following exit codes:
-1 An attempt was made to use condom on a floppy disk.
0 condom exited successfully (no data was passed to the synchronous process).
1 condom failed and data was allowed through. The danger of transmission of an STV or the forking of a child process is inversely
proportional to the number of other protections employed and is directly proportional to the ages of the processes involved.
BUGS
condom is NOT 100% effective at preventing a child process from being forked or at deterring the invasion of a virus (although the System
Administrator General has deemed that condom is the most effective means of preventing the spread of system transmitted viruses). See
celibacy(1) for information on a 100% effective program for preventing these problems.
Remember, the use of sex(1) and other related routines should only occur between mature, consenting processes. If you must use sex(1),
please employ condom to protect your process and your synchronous process. If we are all responsible, we can stop the spread of STVs.
AUTHORS and HISTORY
The original version of condom was released in Roman times and was only marginally effective. With the advent of modern technology, condom
now supports many more options and is much more effective.
The current release of condom was written by Ken Maupin at the University of Washington (maupin@cs.washington.edu) and was last updated on
10/7/92.
