Re: Portable Cygwin: replacing drivename in a text file

[Alexandre Bezroutchko]

you can use a different separator in the sed command.
You can use the following line
  echo 123 | sed "s%2%${HOME}%g"

Right, this will work in most cases. But will fail if $HOME happens to 
contains % sign.
The version I have suggested in the previous post is more robust.
