sed 's/lamb/ham/g' bbbb.txt
In dis case g means global, so it replaces the word lamb where ever it finds...
sed 's/lamb/ham/' bbbb.txt
but here it replaces lamb oly on the first occurence in a line..

sed 's/lamb/ham/g' bbbb.txt - g stands for global replacement.It replaces all the lamb's occuring in a particular line with ham.

sed 's/lamb/ham/' bbbb.txt
whereas this replaces only the first occurence of lamb in the line with ham.Hence the difference in output!
