Hi,
I'm having a hard time to figure out how to represent the tab character
in my regular expression pattern using sed:
this works fine:
cat foo.txt | sed 's/foo/bar/'
this doesn't interpret the tab:
cat foo.txt | sed 's/\tfoo/\tbar/'
I've been reading the FAQ and sed manual, I find nothing. I tried with
the "-r" option for sed described as "Use extended regular expression
syntax".
This works just fine under the "normal" sed. Any ideas ? Thanks.
Regards,
