I am attempting to use SED for the first time. To complicate matters, I am using it in Windows. I downloaded from this source. Since I don't have installation privileges on my work machine, I created a folder in my profile for executables and added it to my PATH
.
I am having issues trying to use SED for the first time. It keeps failing with the error:
sed: -e expression #1, char 1: unknown command: `''
I have tried a few different samples from this how to, but I just can't get it. I found noone else is having this problem. What should I try? I have tried encapsulating it in quotes, double quotes, and back-quotes. Nothing seems to help.
sed -f some_sed_script.sed
orawk -f some_awk_script.awk
