Oh yeah.  Didn't think about the single quote vs. double quote thing there.

And the cat my-file |sed >my-file thing seems to have at best a 50% success rate.
Some times it works, and some times it clobbers the file.  Oh well.  I didn't
want to have to use a temporary file.  But I guess there are many places where
one just can't take shortcuts. <smile>
