Hey.

I know. This is probably really basic/subtle, but 'net searches are
coming up empty.

Doing testing of 'sed' it's generating tmp files in the base
directory. Is there a way that the 'sed' tmp dir can be set to
'/tmp'.

A sample sed cmd would be

sed -i '/foo/cat/g' abc.dat
sed -i '/foo/d' abc.dat

thanks..
One minor error

sed -i 's/foo/cat/g' abs.dat
ditto for abs.dat

Man page says:

         s/regexp/replacement/
 From "info sed":

    The `s' command can be followed by zero or more of the following FLAGS:

`g' Apply the replacement to _all_ matches to the REGEXP, not just the first.

poc

Nothing wrong with the trailing g.
Nor did I say it was the error.
The trailing g says make the change on every match in the line.
