you probably want to add
| tr -d '\n'
to that command line, to remove the trailing newline.
Souldn't the printf("%s", $1) already taking care of the newline removal?
Yes, but sed adds it back in.
Not to mention that you used a non-portable extension of sed by passing
it a non-text file (Solaris sed chokes if the input does not end in
newline).
