Remove "<" and ">", from substitution, and sustitute * by "\+", and you can use " *" without have to use "[ ]*" sed -e 's/\([^ ]\+\)\( \+\)\([^ ]\+\)/\3\2\1/g' or using extended regular expressions, you can remove all escape stuff : sed -re 's/([^ ]+)( +)([^ ]+)/\3\2\1/g' I hope this help -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
