Using a ! as a delimiter can cause problems unless your expression is
enclosed in single quotes. Keep in mind the shell will try and
interpret stuff inside double quotes. For instance, if I try the
above (at least with csh) I get:
LocalSocket: Event not found.
Best to always use single quotes unless you are doing variable
substitution. This applies to sed, as well.
