I don't understand why you'd quote that way. Though unlikely, you could
potentially match a filename in the working directory, and hose the sed
command. For efficiency's sake, you can eliminate cat and one of the
two sed processes, and still have a more readable command:
sed -e 's?foo?bar?g' \
-e 's?dirty?clean?' \
< file.txt > file2.txt
