Your first "echo" needs to be in single quotes or else it results in...
29912:oracle@mybox> echo "123$45$678"
123578
Once that is done this...
29912:oracle@mybox> echo '123$45$678' | sed 's/\$/\\$/g'
123\$45\$678
...or this...
29912:oracle@mybox> echo '123$45$678' | sed 's/\$/\\\$/g'
123\$45\$678
...will work

Hi:
I have a quick question about replacing "$" with "\$" on unix. I need to
convert string "123$45$678" to "123\$45\$678" through a pipe. I tried with
sed command, but could not get it to work:
essex$ echo "123$45$678" | sed s/"$"/"\$"/g
123578$
essex$ echo "123$45$678" | sed s/"$"/"\\$"/g
123578$
Maybe there is another syntax that I should use? TIA.
Guang Mei
