General :: Sed Error - Extra Characters After Command
Aug 3, 2011sed '/
$/ {N s/
//}'
sed: -e expression #1, char 10: extra characters after command
I want to understand what is wrong with my command line. When I can do the some of following in a script but not in a command line. I have been working through the tutorial at [URL]. When I got stuck at the section Working with Multiple Lines. These script works fine.
#!/bin/sh
sed '
# look for a "#" at the end of the line
/#$/ {
# Found one - now read in the next line
N
# delete the "#" and the new line character,
s/#
//
}' file
In my case I am looking for or return ^M.
#!/bin/sh
sed '
# look for a "#" at the end of the line
/
$/ {
# Found one - now read in the next line
N
# delete the "#" and the new line character,
s/
//
}' file
The problem is when I try to convert it to a single line shell command it gives me an errors.
sed '/
$/ {N s/
//}'
sed: -e expression #1, char 10: extra characters after command
sed '/
$/{N s/
//}'
sed: -e expression #1, char 9: extra characters after command
sed '/
$/{Ns/
//}'
sed: -e expression #1, char 8: extra characters after command

View 7 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Bash : Pass Command Line Arguments Containing Special Characters?
Jul 14, 2010I've written myself a linux program "program" that does something with a regular expression. I want to call the program in the bash shell and pass that regular expression as a command line argument to the program(there are also other command line arguments). A typical regular expression looks like "[abc]_[x|y]".Unfortunately the characters [, ], and | are special characters in bash. Thus, calling "program [abc]_[x|y] anotheragument" doesn't work. Is there a way to pass the expression by using some sort of escape characters or quotation marks etc.?
(Calling program "[abc]_[x|y] anotheragument" isn't working either, because it interprets the two arguments as one.)
