Okay, hopefully a quickie for the sed and shell script masters.
An argument to a script will be a string with an optional "\" in it. I want BLAH to be everything AFTER the "\" if present, or the whole string if no "\" is present.
here's my test.sh:
#!/bin/sh
BLAH= echo "$1" | sed 's/.*\\//'
echo $BLAH
BLAH= ` echo "$1" | sed 's/.*\\//' `
echo $BLAH
if I call ./test.sh 'blah\blah' I see:
blah
sed: -e expression #1, char 7: Unterminated `s' command
In neither case is BLAH getting set to anything useful. The first case is because the output is going to stdout, but in the second case, I thought BLAH would get set? It's the same sed comand, but with this usage I get an error? Help?
Thanks,
~ Daniel
