Hi all,

when i run this line in shell works ok:

cat /userdir/file.conf | sed "s/100.100.100.100/200.200.200.200/g" > /userdir/file.conf1

but i want to add it in a shell script, and when i run it i got an error:

./test: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
./test: line 2: `cat /userdir/file.conf | sed "s/100.100.100.100/200.200.200.200/g" >'


my script is this:

#!/bin/sh
cat /userdir/file.conf | sed "s/100.100.100.100/200.200.200.200/g" >
/userdir/file.conf1


i hope someone can help me finding where my error is or what i need to change to run it in a script

Thank You
Carlos V.

move the third line to the end of the second

if it is imperitive that this line (the third one) be seperate for some reason ...you have to change it to this:
