Hi,

Could you give an example of what you are trying to do?

The following code snippet does work (not what you mean?):
Code:
#!/bin/bash

infile=$1

sed 's/THIS/THAT/g' $infile

hi drunna
i am substituting some text inside an xml file, on the shell when i run sed it works fine, but when i run sed in script file, i think due to special characters in XML , it says the "function cant be parsed"

Here's a quick hint. Change your sed call to use the -i argument:
Code:
sed '/some/pattern/here/' -i filename.xml

Hi,

The example given by you works if I try it. Doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it:
Code:
$ cat filename.xml
Ubunto
/<Policyspace Name="File"/
Mandrake
After running your code snippet:
Code:
$ cat filename2.xml
Ubunto
/<Policyspace>/
Mandrake
Maybe your example does not reflect reality??

Hi,

The problem must be caused by something else. Using the complete xml you posted (post #7) it works with the code you posted (post #4)

But........ the sed substitute part you posted last has forward slashes. Escape them or use a different separator for the substitute command. I.e:

sed 's/x/\/y/'
or
sed 's%x%/y%'

Please post relevant and correct information. Without it we are in the dark and you won't get a working solution!

Yeah, using different separator should work and saves the necessity to escape stuff.

When you say it doesn't run, what do you mean? How are you invoking the script? Are there any error messages?

Can you also post the results of these commands:
Code:
echo $SHELL
ls -l /bin/sh
ls -l your_script_filename
