Hi

I am still in the learing process here so please excuse me if this sounds confusing

I have created a shell script to install scripts automatically. Every thing seems to loads fine but i have one small problem.

I am using SED to convert variables through the scripts to the path is correct for each installation but i can only get one set of varibales to change and the other set wil not work.

Can anyone tell me if i need to specify to redo the file using SED

Here is the two lines i am creating at the mo

sed "s/\HostConfigUser/$username/g" /home/admin/www/scripts/links/cgi-bin/links/links.pl > /home/$username/www/cgi-bin/links/links.pl

sed "s/\DomainNameUrl/$domain/g" /home/admin/www/scripts/links/cgi-bin/links/links.pl > /home/$username/www/cgi-bin/links/links.pl

If i Place the two lines together then only one works i cannot get SED to write the file twice

Told you it would be confusing

Thanks if you can help

Steve
