I am not the sole source of wisdom in the list. Please address your questions there. I have forwarded my response to the list.
When I view this message (Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-2022-jp") all the backslashes I paste from the bash console window show up as yen symbols. On the other hand, the command worked as I expected. The following three lines, starting with "$", are cut and pasted from my console window. The first line under the command is what I typed in and the second line is the output (STDIN -> sed -> STDOUT). Maybe you have varying characters for "'" or "-" in the sed expression. $ sed -e 's-\\-/-g' \\\\\\\ /////// My environment: MS Windows XP ash 20011018-1 bash 2.05a-2 cygwin 1.3.7-1 sed 3.02-1 I run bash in a console window using the icon created by setup.exe. You don't seem to have rxvt loaded, so you are probably doing the same. === Late news === I get the same error you do when I try to run sed at the MSDOS prompt.. Use the bash prompt instead when you want to use Cygwin utilities. It's a much more consistent and reliable environment. -- Mac :}) ** I normally forward private questions to the appropriate mail list. ** Give a hobbit a fish and he eats fish for a day.
