Hm, did you consider using something like this? --- snip --- bs='\\' bs2='\\\\' bs4='\\\\\\\\' dollar='\$' sed_double_backslash="\ s/$bs4/$bs4\\ /g s/\n$bs2$dollar/$bs2$bs$dollar/g s/\n//g" --- snip --- I think it is general and it should be portable. Well, at least it seems to work with /bin/sh of Solaris. Bye, Ralf Menzel
