Hi, Scott:
This logic doesn't work on my FreeBSD machines either:
(grungy) DING! ~ > echo abc | sed 's/a/a\r\n/'
arnbc
Same result as QShell and PASE. Are you sure it's supposed to work?!
It's supposed to work, for gnu. I think FreeBSD doesn't use gnu utilities
by default.
This extract from
http://lwn.net/Articles/125779/ seems to confirm:
This is because most Linux distributions use GNU utilities, while BSD
operating systems have developed their own shell utilities with arguments
and switches that often differ from the GNU ones. A good case in point is
"sed", which is part of the FreeBSD userland and which sometimes behaves
differently from GNU sed. That said, GNU sed is available in FreeBSD as a
port called "gsed", so something like 's/sed/gsed/g' might come handy to
convert scripts between the two systems. Other shell scripts might need
manual update - even commands like "date" or "stat" behave differently under
the two operating systems.
