Subj : adding tzutc kludge... To : All From : Martin Kazmaier Date : Thu Dec 14 2023 22:08:00 I'm trying to use sed in windows, but can't find any documentation. It works totally different than *IX sed and isn't enclosed in ', uses ^ as an escape character, I can't figure out how to add ascii characters, etc. My batch file looks like: for %%a in (*.QQ) do ( sed -b -i s/TID:^ FastEcho^ 1.46.1^ 43288/TID:^ FastEcho^ 1.46.1^ 43288\x0D\x01TZUTC:^ \x2D0700/gi %%a ) At the end of the first line of sed is a space and the line continues. There are no instructions for handling special characters in windows that I can find. I'm using \x0D for carriage return, \x01 for the kludge character and \x2D for '-', since it didn't like that in the command. I can get simple expressions working, and ones with spaces, but nothing with ctrl characters or special characters. I know this isn't the proper area, but the solution I'm looking for is because Wilfred keeps saying I don't have a TZUTC kludge in my messages and I'd like to be compliant. --- Shurato, Sysop Shurato's Heavenly Sphere (ssh, telnet, pop3, ftp,nntp) (ports 22, 23, 110, 21, 119) (ssh: login bbs password shsbbs) *** THE READER V4.50 [freeware] --- * Origin: Shurato's Heavenly Sphere telnet://shsbbs.net (1:340/1101) .
