- Subject: problem with "sed" on cygwin...duplicable?
I was wondering if the following simple example worked for
other people. It works on my linux box, but not on my cygwin
box.
Fails & prints usage:
echo 1|sed -r 's/1/2/'
The problem seems to be the extended regular expression switch.
The spelled out form was no better.
I'd guess it was not built right, but I would think it would
remove the "-r" from the usage if it was built without
extended regexp support.
Anyone else duplicate? Should I send the problem to the
"sed-bug" list or is it a cygwin build problem?
Thanks,
L
