Hi everybody,

Actually, i'm working on FreeBSD 6.2 and csh shell. With a sh script,
i trying to execute this command :
sed -e "s/MAKE_ARGS\([^{]*\){/MAKE_ARGS\1{\n\t'mail/nbsmtp' =>
'WITH_IPV6=1 WITH_SSL=1',/" > /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf

The result is not correct, i have an error :
sed: 1: "s/MAKE_ARGS\([^{]*\){/M . . .": bad flag in subsitute
command: 'n'

Can you help me please ?
s/MAKE_ARGS\([^{]*\){/MAKE_ARGS\1{\n\t'mail/nbsmtp' =>
This n is invalid--------------------------^^^

You should add a backslash before each slash
that is not used as a separator for the s command.
E.g.
s/I want to substitute the \/ character/with the _ character/
s/\/\/\//three slashes/

You can also use a separator of choice for the s command.
That is:
s/foo/bar/ is equivalent to [EMAIL PROTECTED]@bar@
is equivalent to sAfooAbarA
is equivalent to s1foo1bar1.

keep in mind, that our sed might not be
totally compatible with GNU sed.

HTH, Nikos
Thank for you anserw but the result is bad again :)
I tryed this : sed "s/MAKE_ARGS\([^{]*\){/MAKE_ARGS\1{\n\t'mail\/nbsmtp'
=> 'WITH_IPV6=1 WITH_SSL=1',/" > /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf
but i have this with cat /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf

MAKE_ARGS = {nt'mail/nbsmtp' => 'WITH_IPV6=1 WITH_SSL=1',
}

Sed and csh is strange no ? I think \n \t not supported by csh.

No, its sed. You cannot use backslash notation with
BSD sed.
nik:0:~$ sed "s/foo/\t\n/"
foo
tn

You can use a literal tab character, but not a literal
newline character...

How about this?
nik:0:~$ echo foo | awk '{ sub(/foo/, "foo\n\tbar"); print; }'
foo
        bar

HTH, Nikos
Note: Using (t)csh as a part of any text manipulation operation I've discovered is generally a bad idea. When using sed, perl, or (g)awk, I always use (ba)sh, because (t)csh does some nasty evaluation of inline expressions, whereas (ba)sh doesn't. Just try using an expression with an exclamation point, for example :). Also for most strings, I'd get in the habit of quoting with single quotes instead of double quotes, if at all possible, because sometimes shells and other programs evaluate double quoted arguments differently than single quoted arguments.
