Hello, I have a problem with sed. Ubuntu: timo@serv6:~# echo "CHANGE MASTER;" | sed '/^CHANGE MASTER.*/ s/.$/ for channel "de";/' CHANGE MASTER for channel "de";
Works as expected. Windows: C:\> echo CHANGE MASTER;| sed.exe '/^CHANGE MASTER.*/ s/.$/ for channel "de";/' CHANGE MASTER; for channel "de"; last character ";" is not being deleted now with a second "." before "$" (to delete last 2 characters): C:\> echo CHANGE MASTER;| sed.exe '/^CHANGE MASTER.*/ s/..$/ for channel "de";/' CHANGE MASTER for channel "de"; This is how I want it. Why do I need a second "." in the cygwin sed? sed.exe --version /usr/bin/sed (GNU sed) 4.4 Packaged by Cygwin (4.4-1) -- Timo -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
