I have this sting: "/Linux/update" and I must substitute it to
"\/Linux\/update" I tryed echo "/Linux/update"|sed "s/\//\\\//g" but it
fails. have someone any ideas??
You're not escaping enough.. Use: `echo "/Linux/update"|sed "s/\//\\\\\//g"`
or even `echo "/Linux/update"|sed "s_/_\\\\/_g"`.
You don't need to escape anything, just use a different limiter:
$ echo "/Linux/update" | sed 's:/:V:g'
The replacement text wasn't "V", it was "\/", which *does* need escaping.
