Didn't think about the single quote vs. double quote thing there. And the cat my-file |sed >my-file thing seems to have at best a 50% success rate. Some times it works, and some times it clobbers the file. Oh well. I didn't want to have to use a temporary file. But I guess there are many places where one just can't take shortcuts.
