Hi,

I have a set of html files. I want to replace all of <H1> tags with
<H2> tags.

So, am trying with sed command like
sed 's/<H1>/<H2>/' <oldfile.html >newfile.html

But it is giving me error saying that "sed: newline or end of file
found in pattern".

I don't want to replace H2 with H1. I want it like <H1> -> <H2>.
Is this possible with sed or not?

Thanks in advance

Is that the exact command?  It should work.

Look:

sed 's/<H1>/<H2>/g' <<<$'<H1><H3><H1>'
<H2><H3><H2>

I don't know what to think of this, are you trying on a computer with
a different sed, or a different shell with different quoting rules,
or... ?

At least, for me this works:

   $ echo "trallala <h1> blah" | sed -e 's/<h1>/<h2>/'
   trallala <h2> blah

Sounds like the OP is on DOS/Windows.

Why he posted to a Unix group is a good question.
