RE: sed & or

That didn't seem to make a difference. This runs but doesn't match either condition:
sed 's/<Tag \/>|<Tag></Tag>/<Tag>Value<\/Tag>|' file_path

Individually, both conditions match with forward slashes (the same as with pipe separators).

well, for one thing, in delimiting the sed pattern, you could use leading-slash s/foo/bar/

Can anyone tell me how to get sed to work with an OR pattern match?
If I try the standard pipe character, the command fails. I found on
Google to escape the pipe with a backslash. That command runs, but
the pattern doesn't match.

Here's what I have that works (just one pattern):
sed 's|<Tag />|<Tag>Value</Tag>|' file_path

This command runs but doesn't match either pattern:
sed 's|<Tag />\|<Tag></Tag>|<Tag>Value</Tag>|' file_path

TIA
