Yes, sorry, several mistakes on my part...
which will replace occurences
of "\)" with a single space
Not what I had intended, I just wanted to replace ) with a space.
Actually I wanted to replace the ( with a space and get rid of the
trailing ),
: eg:
$ echo '2nd backslash and first paren replaced: \\))' | sed 's/\\)/ /'
2nd backslash and first paren replaced: \ )
Note that this is exactly the same as:
$ echo '2nd backslash and first paren replaced: \\))' | sed s/\\\\\)/\ /
2nd backslash and first paren replaced: \ )
Thanks, now I kinda understand why.
