SED functionality

Hi again.

I need to strip single quotes from a file and have been using the following string without success. Can anyone advise me on the correct solution.

sed -e 's/'//g'

Thanks.

Dave

Try changing your outer single quotes to double ones i.e.

sed -e "s/'//"

Should have the desired effect.

As there are no spaces etc in the sed string then you can even get away with no outer quotes at all. Just 'backslash' the single quote:-

sed -e s/\'//g

Hi ,

sed -e "s/'//g" should do the thing.

You don't need to .
