A script of the form: echo abc | sed -e 's,b,\ ,' will work if the newline is escaped with a backslash and the remainder of the sed substitute is on the next line. If you run directly from the command line (not in a shell script) then you need two backslashes, the first one escapes the backslash for the interactive shell. Paul A.
