sed script - remove tabs at begin of line

[flip-mode]

Alright gurus, I am trying to remove tab spaces from the beginnings of lines in a file. Here's how I'm trying to do it:

sed -e '/^\t*/d' infile > outfile

It results in an empty output file. What am I screwing up?

You're deleting all of those lines that match the expression "^\t*" -- a line beginning with 0 or more tabs.

I'd do:
sed -e 's/^\t*//' (substitute the leading tab(s) with nothing)

LOL. Thanks BV.

Heh, yep, that did the trick.
