Yes, point taken ...
You don't seem to read what I wrote. that "< filename" I had at the end wasn't a typo, that is how it reads the file. Try it again, and this time don't leave anything out
I know! I am donning sackcloth as we speak :-)
As a general rule, all but the very simplest one-off commands should not be entered directly to an interactive command line. Instead, create a script and work on the invocation there. Likewise, even if you think a command should be simple enough to enter directly to the shell prompt, if you don't get it right after a couple of tries, put it in a script. Lastly, if there's even an outside chance that the command will prove useful again in the future, stash it away to save time the next time you need to do the same thing or something similar.
