[SOLVED] SED command in UNIX

Issue

I want to remove below string from a file in Unix:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

The file content is exactly this:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>Hello World

in one single continuous line.

I am using the following command to achieve the same:

sed s'/<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>//g' myFile > myFile1

However, the resultant file myFile1 is still having the string.

How to achieve this ?

Solution

Use double quotes for the outer quotes to avoid the escape issue:

sed "s/<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>//g" myFile > myFile1
