Scripting issue

Dewa Negara_4 — Mon, 16 Jan 2006 09:20:06 GMT

Hi All,

Any one can help me to tell how to translate "cane*p" to "cane\*p" (there is a back slash after * sign) using shell scripting? either using tr or sed command.

Please help.

Thanks and Best Regards,
Dewa

Hi Dewa:

# echo "cane*p"|sed -e 's%*%\\*%'
