If I run a script with this command (should search somefile and substitute "UPSCABLE ether" for "UPSCABLE usb" wherever it is found):

    sed -i  -e 's/UPSCABLE usb/UPSCABLE ether' <somefile>

It produces the error:

    sed: -e expression #1, char 29: unterminated `s' command

A web search seems to indicate that this is a problem with special characters needing to be escaped.

I tried:

    sed -i  -e 's\/UPSCABLE usb\/UPSCABLE ether' <somefile>

But that simply produces:

    sed: -e expression #1, char 31: unterminated `s' command

Anyone know how to fix this?
