Very neat. > I implemented the sed scripts with single quotes to help make the > "trick" documented on that page a little more clear. Yup. You beat me to it. Single quotes are much easier to handle as long as you don't /have/ to use double quotes. > The "trick" puts a "\" at the end of the sed script and then inserts a > NEWLINE right in the middle of the string.

But for for executing scripts you should be fine. Still for these tasks sed and awk are way cooler and faster. c -- __ _ _ _ __ _ _ \ \ | |__| |__ _ __| |_\ \| |_ _ _ __ _ __| |_ \ \| '_ \ / _` / _| / /\ \ _| '_/ _` (_-< ' \ http://www.blacktrash.org/ \_\_.__/_\__,_\__|_\_\ \_\__|_| \__,_/__/_||_| Jabber-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
