Fix for RHEL-3
Fix for this problem.
$ locale | grep LANG
LANG=C
$ echo abcd | ./sed-4.0.7/sed/sed 'y,abcd,\\\t\,!,'
\ ,!
$ locale | grep LANG
LANG=cs_CZ.utf8
$ echo abcd | ./sed-4.0.7/sed/sed 'y,abcd,\\\t\,!,'
\ ,!
Also works the other way around:
$ echo -e '\\\t,!' | ./sed-4.0.7/sed/sed 'y,\\\t\,!,abcd,'
abcd
escaped characters are hopelessly buggy ... .qa.[root@ia64-3as tps]# echo -e 'ata' | sed 'y,t,\k,' sed: -e expression #1, char 7: strings for y command are different lengths .qa.[root@ia64-3as tps]# echo -e 'ata' | sed 'y,t,\x,' axa .qa.[root@ia64-3as tps]# This: echo -e 'ata' | sed 'y,t,\x,' behaves as expected. \x is "hexadecimal escape", given sane argument: $ echo 'xyz' | ./sed-4.0.7/sed/sed 'y/y/\x20/' x z If the argument is not provided, backslash is simply ignored. This is consistent with latest upstream. E.g. echo does something similar: $ echo -e 'a\x20\x' a \x The \k case is resolved by the attached patch in a manner consistent with upstream: unresolved escapes are taken as if backslash was not there. Product Management has reviewed and declined this request. You may appeal this decision by reopening this request. |
