To delete all lines beginning with a <space> in a text file, this
command (a) seems correctly composed and (b) works:
sed '/^ .*$/d' filename
but if I use it in a cmd window, the result is that all lines
_containing_ a space are deleted, not just those beginning with a space.
In general, and assuming PATHs etc correctly set, should not Cygwin
command lines work identically in bash and cmd windows? Is this a
problem with sed, with (my) command line syntax above, or with my
understanding of what should work when?
XP Pro SP2. Thank you.
