    hi,

    i've got a problem with the sed version on aix 5.3. i want to replace something in a certain line.
    for example i want to replace all "yes" in line 1 with "no" in file "test". with gnu sed it works with sed "2{s/yes:/no/g}" test.
    if i run this command on aix sed i get "sed: Function 2{s/yes:/no/g} cannot be parsed."

    anyone have got a solution for that without installing gnu sed?

    thx in advance

    Unless I'm missing something?
