Why doesnt this work:
sed 's,test,te\nst,'
That is when test is found how come sed doesnt actually print the newline
character? The man page claims it should:
A line can be split by substituting a newline character into it.
To specify a newline character in the replacement string, precede
it with a backslash.
What obviousness am I missing here, anyone?
Thanks!
