Hi,I'm using gnu win32 ver=C2=A04.2.1 of sed.When using -i option, sed alwa= ys leaves behind temporary files named sed* in the directory where it's bei= ng called. (ie. NOT in the directory where the edited file resides.)Each su= ccessful run leaves 1 temp file behind. When I supply a file extension using -itmp, the expected file backup gets c= reated in the directory where the edited file resides. The temporary files = are still left over in the execution directory. >dir sed* =C2=A0Directory of C:\GitHub\merlin-etl\merlinDBScripts\dbChanges\sql\prod File Not Found >sed -i "s/ad/asdf/" \temp\1.csv >dir sed* =C2=A0Directory of C:\GitHub\merlin-etl\merlinDBScripts\dbChanges\sql\prod 22. 02. 2022=C2=A0 10:28=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 = =C2=A0 47 sedhJDLA6=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A01= File(s)=C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A047 bytes=C2=A0 =C2= =A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A00 Dir(s)=C2=A0 173 949 931 520= bytes free Thank you,Daniel Adam
