Hello! In the GNU guide for SED:
https://www.gnu.org/software/sed/manual/sed.html#Introduction, I see
the following:
sed -i 's/hello/world' file.txt
However on my ubuntu machine I get the following:
address@hidden:~$ sed --version
sed (GNU sed) 4.4

address@hidden:~$ cat file.txt
hello world
this is a message
good day!
address@hidden:~$ sed -i 's/hello/world' file.txt
sed: -e expression #1, char 13: unterminated `s' command
address@hidden:~$
it works fine if I do
sed -i 's/hello/world/' file.txt
Thanks all!

Attached is a fix.
Clearly necessary and correct. Thank you both.
