[nylug-talk] need sed help

[jh]

I'm trying to use sed to delete all the whitespace, up to the first 
non-white character, on the first line of a file, and I can't make it 
work. Can someone show me what will work?

Tried this:

sed -e 's/[\t]//1' problem.txt > out.txt
sed -e 's/[\020]*//1' problem.txt > out.txt
sed -e 's/[:space:]*//1' problem.txt > out.txt

No dice. This is on an MS-DOS formatted text file...

Thanks~
