RE: sed - escape character -- MIDRANGE-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.

You should be able to get the effect you want my changing quotes (") to
apostrophes (').

It's the shell, not sed, that's processing the escapes.

I've a sed command that looks like below:
QSH CMD('sed -e "s?&1?
<\\MCBELL4\BossTemp\NewAccount\LHCTEST2ERROR.csv>?g"
/tmp/SVEML_PALHC_MSRL3E144A_962203.txt > /tm
p/SVEML_PALHC_MSRL3E144A_962203.txt.sedout')

Above sed command is to replace all the &1 text with
\\MCBELL4\BossTemp\NewAccount\LHCTEST2ERROR.csv. Unfortunately, the
result
that I got is
<MCBELL4BossTempNewAccountLHCTEST2ERROR.csv>. All those \ character
went
missing. I assuming this is because \ is a special escape character.
Is
there a way to tell sed to ignore applying of escape character?

thanks
