Hi all Can anybody point out why this does not work?
[shridhar@daithan shridhar]$ export ORACLE_HOME=d:\\oracle\\oracle9 [shridhar@daithan shridhar]$ echo $ORACLE_HOME d:\oracle\oracle9 [shridhar@daithan shridhar]$ echo $ORACLE_HOME| sed s/'\\'/'\\\\'/g d:\\oracle\\oracle9 [shridhar@daithan shridhar]$ t=`echo $ORACLE_HOME| sed s/'\\'/'\\\\'/g` sed: -e expression #1, char 8: Unterminated `s' command [shridhar@daithan shridhar]$ I was under impression that if a shell command prints something on console, it can b put in `` and assigned to a shell variable. But in this case I had to put that output in a file and assign `cat file` to the variable. Certainly not the best solution.. I tried this under mksNT and bash. Same result..
