sed in place

By Hal Canary
#!/bin/sh
SEDCMD="$1"
shift
for x in "$@" ; do
  dirt=`dirname "${x}"`
  tmp=`mktemp "${dirt}/tmp.XXXXXXXXXX"`
  sed "${SEDCMD}" < "${x}" > "${tmp}"
  mv "${tmp}" "${x}"
  echo "$x fixed."
done

UPDATE: The next day I realized that

sed -i

does exactly the same thing.

very different covers

By Hal Canary

Compare and contrast the mass-market and the hardcover covers of this book:

Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon SandersonMistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson

I like the mass-market (on the left) cover better.
