What is it you're trying to accomplish? On my computer, I get identical results with a do shell script and entering it into the terminal. (When it's properly escaped, naturally). If I remove the 2, I get all lines substituted, if I add the two, I get only the second line in the file substituted:

test.txt
<H3>dog1</H3>
<H3>dog2</H3>
<H3>dog3</H3>
<H3>dog4</H3>

do shell script "sed -e '2s|<H3>\\(.*\\)<\\/H3>|<h3><a href=\"\\.\\/\">\\1</a></h3>|' ~/Desktop/test.txt"

yields

"<H3>dog1</H3>
<h3><a href=\"./\">dog2</a></h3>
<H3>dog3</H3>
<H3>dog4</H3>"

do shell script "sed -e 's|<H3>\\(.*\\)<\\/H3>|<h3><a href=\"\\.\\/\">\\1</a></h3>|' ~/Desktop/test.txt"

yields

"<h3><a href=\"./\">dog1</a></h3>
<h3><a href=\"./\">dog2</a></h3>
<h3><a href=\"./\">dog3</a></h3>
<h3><a href=\"./\">dog4</a></h3>"

Are these not the results for which you are searching?

The bugaboo is the "2" specifying the line number:

sed -e '2s|<H3>\\(.*\\)<\\/H3>|<h3><a href=\"\\.\\/\">\\1</a></h3>|'

Works in Terminal but not Applescript. If I remove the "2" it operates on
all lines in the file.

What am I doing wrong?
