sed is lower case for a start. Also, this seems to be part of a python script, not only is this vital information but you cannot directly call sed from within python without using other commands.
lastly, you are writing the script in leafpad, but what was the txt file written with?
Yes, not winning my vote as someone who should continue to receive help
And you were capable of understanding sed and regular expressions when you started Linux? After 15 years I've still never used either; luckily I can use an emulator to run my faithful QL text editor to do jobs like removing CR or blank lines.
I think you misunderstood David. I am not against helping the individual, but he has opened a second thread and claimed he came up with the sed shown by searching Google, see here and not only is this a blatant fib but it also goes against the LQ rules of reposting the same question.
So no, I am with you on the fact that this is not necessarily an easy topic for a beginner, but I am not impressed when someone tries to usurp our generous nature either.
