i'm doing something pretty basic which works fine on OSX
but fails on MS_DOS bat file usage.

echo filename.nfo | sed "s/\.nfo//g" >temp.txt

In OSX the temp.txt has in it exactly what it should "filename"


in MS-DOS I get "filename " <---- NOTE the SPACE character at the end


What the heck is wrong with sed on MS-DOS? and does anyone
know how i can get it to NOT add that space at the end? is there
an option I can add to DOS sed to get it to NOT do that?

here is more of the script in the bat file

set AE_NFO=filename.nfo
echo %AE_NFO% | sed "s/\.nfo//g" >temp.txt
set /p AE_FILENAME=< temp.txt



Thoughts?


thanks!

haha hate replying to my own posts but i figured out how to fix it and WHY
DOS sed is different. The version with XP just does it wrong. You can download
better versions of sed though which i didn't want to do and because I figured
out how to get sed to work like i needed.

simply add a [space character]$ like the following causes sed to strip (or suppress)
that character from being sent to output at the EOF.

echo %AE_NFO% | sed "s/\.nfo $//g" >temp.txt



my script works great now on both OSX and MS-DOS/XP boxes
