sed Solaris Problem
Hello. has anybody an idea why my script doesnt work on solaris but on ubuntu? I know. I ask the same question again. But i really dont know why my script is not working.


Code:
#!/usr/xpg4/bin/sh
for file in $(find /home9/user/..../.../Test/ -type f)

do
head -n 1 $file | egrep '^#!' 
if [ $? -eq 0 ] 
    then

/usr/xpg4/bin/sed '2i\header' "$file" > "$file.new" && mv "$file.new" "$file" 

else

/usr/xpg4/bin/sed '1i\header' "$file" > "$file.new" && mv "$file.new" "$file"
fi


done

I get message : sed garbled and everything he does is to create new empty files....

Where is the Problem here.Is the path wrong or something...

Thanks a lot

Try:
Code:
#!/usr/xpg4/bin/sh
for file in $(find /home9/user/..../.../Test/ -type f)

do
head -n 1 $file | egrep '^#!' 
if [ $? -eq 0 ] 
    then

/usr/xpg4/bin/sed '2i\
header' "$file" > "$file.new" && mv "$file.new" "$file" 

else

/usr/xpg4/bin/sed '1i\
header' "$file" > "$file.new" && mv "$file.new" "$file"
fi


done
