Perhaps you should just grep the whole line, and then use tr, instead of sed, for the actual fix?
$ for str in "MODE = standalone" "MODE= standalone" "MODE =standalone"; do printf "$str\t>>\t"; printf "$str\n" | tr -d " "; done MODE = standalone >> MODE=standalone MODE= standalone >> MODE=standalone MODE =standalone >> MODE=standalone -- sobtw...@sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
