sed the escape character

TonyMac · 2011-03-04 12:48:57

I don't know whether this is easy or impossible!! #sed "s|%5C|\|g" $DB_NAME"data01.sql" >$DB_NAME"data02.sql" I am trying to convert the %5C to \ but this seems like a good way to kill ubuntu!!!:D How do I escape \?

Does using \e or \x1B instead of %5C help?
