Not that I know Perl... Since this is a patch to a shell script file, Marcin's intent can be better served by following patch, I think: -sed -e "s/,,/\„/g; s/''/\”/g;" $1 > temp +perl -pi -e "s/(^|\s),,/\„/g; s/''/\”/g;" $1 Of cource I like source to be written in something like „text” than ,,text''. I know it is a pain to type. Bartosz, hello :-) We do not need to start. I can live as is. Osamu
