What is binary file in linux?
A binary file is usually an executable, but could also be an image--eg a jpeg. More generally, any file that cannot be decoded to text using ascii, utf-8, etc.
I assume your error will be the same if you just do "cat pruebased"
You added "-e" in you second example---why? (It means gets instructions from a script)
Note also that you can use the "-i_ switch to have sed edit the file "in place.
I always thought -e meant extended... it doesn't mean run a script file as such, just run the following as if it were a script i think, so the language of the regex is enhanced or summat... never actually written a full grep script before...
Your error seems to indicate that you use back-quotes (`) instead of single quotes (') or double quotes ("). The kind you used in your first post (’) is yet another (invalid) kind.
Apart from that, just a small note: the 'g' in your expression is useless as the /$/ pattern can appear only once per line (this means "end of line").
As for the extended regexps, this is done with the -r option in sed. -e is the same for grep.
