 Space and TAB under HP UX 11 Hello, I want to kill spaces and tabs from a line. But sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//;' filename is not working. \t will not be recognized. What can I do? My workarount now is to write a shellscript and manipulate the command there in the manner that I insert a '09' instead of the \t with a hexedit. Then it works. What's wrong? Greetings Rick      |
