Hi All,

How do i write in sed for the 6th and 7th field of etc/passwd file as it involves "/" character?

Does mine below is correct? It's incomplete script as i need help with syntax as i always getting may errors

Example of etc/passwd file:

blah:x:1055:600:blah blah:/home/blah:/bin/ksh

sed "s/\($name:.:[0-9]*:\)[0-9]*:\(.*\):\(\/.*\/.*\):\(\/.*\/.*\)
