Consider the following file testfile.proto: ver XX.X ver XX.X When I perform a sed -e "" testfile.proto on it, it gives me the contents of the file on stdout, which is normal. When I try to do this from within a makefile, it refuses to do anything: testfile: testfile.proto echo 'Test the make' sed -e "" testfile.proto This is all, the echo does its thing but sed returns nothing! Anybody any suggestions? Thanx, Ivo - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
