You can change the / to most punctuation marks, but you have to be careful with some characters that are interpreted by the shell. To do that enclose in single quotes. Good characters are pipe (|), at (@), semi-colon ";", or colon (:). You change because you have a slash in the pattern or replacement and don't want to make an ugly, hard to read sequence with backslashes escaping a lot of characters. Others have responded to the rest of your message. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
