I'm using Woody with Gnu sed version 3.02 (the default). I want to be able to insert tab chars into the output lines eg
sed = somefile | sed 'N;s/\n/\t/' just gives me the literal 't' immediately following the number at the start of each line. Attempting to actually type a tab key in the place of the '\t' in the replacement string just has the xterm barfing and I get the same result if I log on in a real terminal. So does attempting to insert Ctrl-I. Is there some way of inserting the tab in octal or hex? TIA Bob Parker -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
