Could not run SED command

mmunir · 04-17-2008, 07:45 AM

I am using solrais 10 on sun sparc.

The following command executes successfully

echo c:/test.txt | sed -e 's/\//\\\//g'

But when i executes the following command

x=`echo c:/test.txt | sed -e 's/\//\\\//g'`

I get the following error

sed: command garbled: s/\//\\//g

Is there any way to avoid this error. I am using the Bash shell.

Use a different separator - say ":"

Yes,

Using a different separator is the preferred way to do it. As you can see below, this will solve your problem, but it's really easy to get lost in all the onion-peeling involved with all the escapes

x=`echo c:/test.txt | sed -e 's/\//\\\\\//g'`

Best wishes,

try

Code:

x=$(echo "c:/test.txt" | sed -e 's@/@//@g')
