Sorry that I didn't notice that sed was using input and output files, should've seen that. I made a dummy with just one link to test the sed command. The link is entirely on one line, where as if I were to paste it here then it would wrap, I'm not sure if that's relevant. Here's the link in dumm.txt, wrapped: <http://ipac3.vpl.ca/ipac20/ipac.jsp?uri=full=3100001~!1150206~!25&ri=4&aspect=basic_search$> [thufir@arrakis click]$ [thufir@arrakis click]$ date Sun Jul 31 21:26:23 IST 2005 [thufir@arrakis click]$ pwd /home/thufir/click [thufir@arrakis click]$ ll total 36 -rw-rw-r-- 1 thufir thufir 0 Jul 31 21:26 clicklist.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 thufir thufir 95 Jul 31 21:26 dummy.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 thufir thufir 5366 Jul 31 08:37 linklist.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 thufir thufir 5366 Jul 31 15:38 linklist.txt.backup [thufir@arrakis click]$ cat dummy.txt http://ipac3.vpl.ca/ipac20/ipac.jsp?uri=full=3100001~!1150206~!25&ri=4&aspect=basic_search$ [thufir@arrakis click]$ sed 's|^http://\(.*/\)\(.*\)|<a href="\1\2">\1</a>|g; s|href="| href="http://|g' dummy.txt > clicklist.txt sed: -e expression #1, char 58: unterminated `s' command [thufir@arrakis click]$ I opened "dummy.txt" from openoffice and the link wasn't clickable, but I do notice that if I were to e-mail these to myself that they become clickable from gmail. Still, I'd like to get the sed command working, partly out of curiousity. Thanks, Thufir
