Hi Michael.
you are mixing a DOS echo which will produce a \r\n line ending with a Cygwin sed which expects \n line endings.
I already thought it's something about EOL, just wanted to make sure if this is not a bug. Thanks. -- Timo -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
