Re: One-liner: -i without .bak?

Are you sure the backup files didn't get created during a prior run when -i.bak was given? Because -i won't randomly come up with a backup extension on its own.

The backups weren't created by this one-liner. -i will not create a bkup without an extension and the error's not anywhere else in your one-liner, just tested it. So see what other code is being ran on these xml files (check there creation dates versus when you run this one-liner?).
