sed in HP-UX does NOT support escapes!

[Fedon Kadifeli]

I need to quickly translate a text file having lines ending with LF to CR+LF. The following pipe command

sed "s/$/\r/g"

does not work in HP-UX as expected, since sed in HP-UX does seem to support escape sequences.

Any suggestions?

x=$(echo "\r\n")
sed -e "s/$/$x/"

That was nice Laurent. Thank you!

Note: Even

sed "s/$/$(print "\r\n")/"

works!

You can also use a command that is made for this purpose, ux2dos(1).
