Hi all,
I am using sed for converting a string of type /abc/def/gh by \/abc\/def\/gh

[trainee@LINUX ~]$ edu="/home/abc/dec"

When I echo that variable and pass it to sed ,it works fine...
[trainee@LINUX ~]$ echo $edu|sed 's/\//\\\//g'
\/home\/abc\/dec

But When I try to store in a variable , it shows the following error
[trainee@LINUX ~]$ ued=`echo $edu|sed 's/\//\\\//g'`
sed: -e expression #1, char 9: unknown option to `s'

HELP BLEAZ
