Hi, Ive done some searching online and I cant work out how to do this, and I was wondering if any of you guys do? This is what I am doing, and when I try to insert a \n it doesnt work either way: input | sed 's/a string/\n/g' | output input | sed 's/a string/\\n/g' | output what is the correct way from the command prompt? Thanks for any help . . Regards, Jacob To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
