Hi,

 

I am using the sed command for a "search and replace" operation.

 

I am trying to replace a string with a '   like for example. I want to replace Kitten' with Kitten". So the command i am using is

 

sed 's/Kitten'/Kitten"/g' cat.txt   

 

but it throws and error saying

 

Unmatched '

 

So it takes the ' in the input (Kitten') to be the end of the the string and the actual ' which signifies end of string is treated as Unmatched '

 

How can we actually search and replace a string with ' in it.

 

Thanks,

Nehul.
