Subject: bug about sed when use -i
Date: Thu, 14 May 2015 17:00:58 +0800

when I use sed like this :

sed -i  -e 's/\(public class TInfo .*\)$/\1\
\
  private static final long serialVersionUID = -4659975753252858243l; \/\/ See ACCUMULO-3132\
/' src/main/java/org/apache/accumulo/trace/thrift/TInfo.java

It will create a file name TInfo.java-e as a backup,but the -e is not the backup extension I use.


If I use it like this:
sed -i ''  -e 's/\(public class TInfo .*\)$/\1\
\
  private static final long serialVersionUID = -4659975753252858243l; \/\/ See ACCUMULO-3132\
/' src/main/java/org/apache/accumulo/trace/thrift/TInfo.java

It will be work ok and not create a backup file what I want.

I'm almost sure that you're not using GNU sed.

I think Davide's guess that you are using some other version of sed is right.
Please tell us what "sed --version" prints.

If you are using some version of GNU sed it must be out of date;
repeat your test using the latest: sed-4.2.2 and let us know.

Thank you for you replay.

I google the problem and I found that It is because I use mac and the sed version is not same as the GNU sed .
