Hi, sed has an option `--in-place` to allow the change to a file in-place. But I don't find a similar option in m4. Does anybody know there is a similar option that I can use for in-place modification of a file? Thanks.
No, but you can use the Linux mktemp command and pipe to the temp file then copy it back. -- Jack J. Woehr # Science is more than a body of knowledge.
