Hi,

I haven't tested it but don'y you have to double quote your sed scripting instead of single when using variables?
sed -e "s/${line1}/${line1_m}/g" prod_hier_1234.txt > test.txt

That should do it

How many files are in your current direcotry?
do a ls -l

You could try a rm * to delete all files in your directory providing you have manually moved the files you want to keep before hand.

Have you tried to move the file which will rename it and then delete it?

like:

mv "ab123 v2.12.09 with revision marks.doc;#" new_file

then rm new_file

echo $SHELL

rm *ks.doc

If there is other files which include ks.doc then you might have a problem, if not then you will be...

Note that if you use rm to remove a file, it is usually possible to recover the contents of that file. If you want more...

Its usually safer to put sed inserts command into a file and then invoke the sed script with option -f.

Hello,

I was reading the manual on rm and it states that when you use 'rm' the files are usual recoverable, how is this done?

Does it assume that a backup system is in place?

Can't you do it with adding this to the end of your command:

>dev/null

I am not on a UNIX box at the moment but i think it might work even with background jobs.
