Re: Need help with SED

I place editing can be problematic which is why classic sed does not touch the original file. This is a gnu extension (a move to make it more user friendly but broken in my opinion). So you should have gnu sed on windows. Secondly make sure the -i switch is not broken for your version. Thirdly tell us what does it complain and maybe I can help further.
