sed "s/\(.*\)/\t\1/" $filename > $sedTmpFile && mv $sedTmpFile $filename
I am expecting this sed script to insert a tab in front of every line in $filename however it is not. For some reason it is inserting a t instead.
Not all versions of
sedunderstand\t. Just insert a literal tab instead (press Ctrl–V then Tab).
