I was just made aware of a really nice feature of sed just yesterday: You can replace the / as a seperator with whatever character you want, as long as you use that same character all the way!! This is really nice, since you wouldn't need to escape the / characters as you otherwise would need to do. Just do like this (for instance): sed -2 s_$REPLACELINE_$KDMLIME_g /etc/test/ttys > /etc/test/new _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
