I think the -e option will help u a bit..

Please try the below command as mentioned below:

sed -e 's/a/A/' -e 's/b/B/' <old >new

Thanks,
Deepak

Hi,

for a better understanding ... i have the following commands:

Code:
cat /file.xml | \ sed '0,/<text>/d'  | sed '/<\/text>/,/<text>/d' |  sed 's/<[^>]\+>//g'  > file2.txt

i want to take the file.xml - do some sed-commands and get the result in file2.txt
But i get always : invalid escape-string

alex
