s/MAKE_ARGS\([^{]*\){/MAKE_ARGS\1{\n\t'mail/nbsmtp' => This n is invalid--------------------------^^^ You should add a backslash before each slash that is not used as a separator for the s command. E.g. s/I want to substitute the \/ character/with the _ character/ s/\/\/\//three slashes/ You can also use a separator of choice for the s command. That is: s/foo/bar/ is equivalent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]@bar@ is equivalent to sAfooAbarA is equivalent to s1foo1bar1. keep in mind, that our sed might not be totally compatible with GNU sed.
