    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?

    You should just be able to use \\.
