Maybe an issue with SED redirection or I missed something

[Rodney Fisher]

HI there

I have tried a few tests with the SED command.

It seems to not handle the redirection arrows very well.....

Y:\testsed>cat rf1
"Test sed to remove quotes".
Even if line like this has no quotes.
"Or just has 1 quote like this line.

Y:\testsed>sed "s/\"//g" rf1
Test sed to remove quotes.
Even if line like this has no quotes.
Or just has 1 quote like this line.

Y:\testsed>sed "s/\"//g" rf1 > rf2
Test sed to remove quotes.
Even if line like this has no quotes.
Or just has 1 quote like this line.
sed: can't read >: Invalid argument
sed: can't read rf2: No such file or directory

Y:\testsed>

The version I have is dated 4/14/2003, maybe there is a newer one??>...

Just wondering .... Thanks for any info on this.....
