All,
Need to do something in shell (it's a script inside an RPM is why)
basically I have this situation.
read floc < /var/tmp/ftpname # ftpname is the absolute path to the
# ftp/pub directory.
sed -e "s/floc/$floc/g" somefile > somefile.tmp
Problem is that the absolute path contains /'s because thats the way the
user enters the absolute path to his/her ftp directory. Of course sed
doesn't like this at all. I can't ask the user to enter \/ instead of /
(Ok I could but I would be on the phone/e-mail list 24/7 answering the
same "problem" over and over) question is how can I make this
substitution in shell script without requiring my user to stand on
his/her head? None of the books/online tutorials cover a situation like
this and I'm getting balder by the minute here.. HELP! *grin*
