[thelist] stupid simple sed thing

I'm working on a shell script and am caught up on a simple task.
I need to do a reg ex string replacement in a file. sed makes the
replacement OK, but it gives the result to standard output, and I can
redirect the output to a file. But I can't replace the original file
with the sed output. Is there a flag I'm missing here? Or is there
another way I should be doing this? Just a simple string replacement in
a file from the shell.
I feel awfully dumb.
thanks
