(Sed) Search/Replace Involving Negative Number Yields Extra Characters

debugcn Published at Dev

I'm using sed to look in a text file and replace any values that match 999 with -999.

The problem I'm having is that the command is inserting WAY too many extra negative symbols...

Code:

sed -i "s/999/-999/g" /home/weather/data/.../master_tmp

Result:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------999

Expected Result:

-999

Problem solved!

I had the sed command in a while/do/done loop...
