sed command not running
I am using solrais 10 on sun sparc.

The following command executes successfully
Code:
echo c:/test.txt | sed -e 's/\//\\\//g'

But when i executes the following command
Code:
x=`echo c:/test.txt | sed -e 's/\//\\\//g'`

I get the following error
Code:
sed: command garbled: s/\//\\//g

Is there any way to avoid this error. I am using the Bash shell.

one way:

Code:
#  x=`echo c:/test.txt | sed -e 's/\\//\\\\\//g'`

#  echo $x
c:\/test.txt
