Thanks for that help. It was way beyond my 'sed' skill level.
It's because ?[? represents itself inside a character class unless it's
followed by a colon, dot, or equa

It's the first expression which is the problem.
$ sed -e 's%[[./*$^\\]%\\&%g'
I have a version of vgrind with the line
echo "$i" | sed -e 's%[[./*$^\\]%\\&%g' -e 's%.*%/^&:/d%'
It has worked for a gazillion years - 20+.
Upon upgrading to CentoS 7.9, I suddently find that I get an error
sed: -e expression #1, char 18: unterminated `s' command
Can anybo
