escaped characters in sed
Have you tried doing it in a script instead? Something that you can set the variables in? ie: blah="[]" newblah=whatyouwantittobe cat filename sed -e s/$blah/$whatyouwantittobe/g > newfilename You definitely want to try this on a new or copied file as if the arguments don't match...- crakkerjax
