config.status: sed s,@program_transform_name@,s,x,x,,

[Glenn McGrath]

In config.status i have the following sed command.

s,@program_transform_name@,s,x,x,,

If i try and use something similar in GNU sed i get an error.

$ echo "blah" | sed 's,blah,s,x,x,,'
sed: -e expression #1, char 10: Unknown option to `s'

I realise the sed delimiter can be almost any character, but im not sure
whether its valid to have the delimiter in the replacement string.

Looking at the Makefile config.status generates i have a line
program_transform_name = s,x,x,

So i _think_ the sed command might be working from the script, but not
when run manually, which just isn't logical.

Anyone know whats going on ?

Im using the latest autoconf, the sed command is present in the
config.status generated by at least GNU sed, and GNU make's ./configure,


Thanks

Glenn
