possible sed problem(s)...

[George . R . Goffe]

Hi there,

I'm not sure that I've found a bug or not. The sed version is 3.02. I've
included 2 scripts that illustrate where my confusion lies.

The script below is named tst1. The first echo? statement works as expected
but the second one does NOT. The only difference is the use of a double
quote in the first one and a single quote on the second one. Am I missing
something here?


#!/bin/sh -xv

 echo 12345 | sed -e"/^1/a\\
6789"

 echo 12345 | sed -e'/^1/a\\
6789'

 exit 0




This script is named tst2. I'm trying to do some minor surgery on a
Makefile which I've also included. In the sed commands (-e) I'm in some
cases substituting and in other cases appending lines. At least I'm
attempting to append lines. I keep getting a message about extra
characters.


Here's the execution of tst2:


./tst2
#!/bin/sh -xv

       set $osname = "5.5.1"
       ;;

       ;;

       printf "%s" 'Wrong system level encountered...'
       exit 86
