    <p>You have to worry about the slashes in the text you are replacing.</p> <ul> <li>Either: use '<code>\/</code>' for each slash,</li> <li>Or: cheat and use '<code>.</code>' to match any character at the point where the slash should appear.</li> </ul> <p>The alternative exploits the improbability of a file containing the HTML. Theoretically, if you don't like the second alternative, you should also use '<code>\.</code>' at each point where '<code>.</code>' appears in the string you're looking at.</p> <pre><code>sed -e 's/&lt;SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" TYPE="text.javascript" SRC=".height.js"&gt;&lt;.SCRIPT&gt;/ /' file_names </code></pre> <p>This is copied from your example and slashes are replaced by dots. However, supplying all the file names on the command line like that will simply write the output as the concatenation of all the edited files to standard output.</p> <p>Classically, to edit files more or less in situ, you'd write:</p> <pre><code>tmp=${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/xxx.$$ trap 'rm -f $tmp; exit 1' 0 1 2 3 13 15 for file in ...list... do sed -e '...' $file &gt; $tmp mv $tmp $file done rm -f $tmp trap 0 </code></pre> <p>This includes reasonably bullet-proof clean-up of the temporary - it is not perfect. This variant backs up the original before replacing it with the edited version:</p> <pre><code>tmp=${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/xxx.$$ trap 'rm -f $tmp; exit 1' 0 1 2 3 13 15 for file in ...list... do sed -e '...' $file &gt; $tmp mv $file $file.bak mv $tmp $file done rm -f $tmp trap 0 </code></pre> <p>With GNU <code>sed</code>, you can use the '<code>-i</code>' or '<code>--in-place</code>' option to overwrite the files; you can use '<code>--in-place=.bak</code>' to create backup copies of each <code>file</code> in <code>file.bak</code>.</p>

    2. CO(a) You were testing on dummy copies of the files before going live with anything, weren't you? (b) You do not need to randomly scattershot backslashes in the expression - and you missed the backslash before the dot that might actually do some good. However, neither of those explains what happened. With sed run without the GNU-specific '-i' option, there is no way for sed itself to demolish your file; it works in read-only mode. So, there must have been a mistake in the surrounding shell script that you were playing with.

    3. COIf you tried "`sed -e 's/.../ /' < file > file`" as suggested by someone else (I hope as a temporary aberration), then the shell clobbers your file for you automatically. And it doesn't matter what the command you use is - the shell clobbers the file before executing the command; it is empty before the command is executed.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
