If your sed allows, use a delimiter other than '/' so that you do not have to escape it to reduce the clutter... echo 'damn/it' | sed -e 's!damn/!bloody !' In other words, use a delimiter that does not occur in search pattern or replacement to minimize number of things to focus on. I have a feeling, but have not actually tried, that you may be overescaping things in sed command. - Parv -- -- Visit the official FVWM web page at <URL: http://www.fvwm.org/>.
