Code:

$ cat t1
se:mi:co:lons::: here:: and there.
$ sed 's@:@:\\@g' t1
se:\mi:\co:\lons:\:\:\ here:\:\ and there.

Yep, you have mentioned backslash, and given front slash... ok anyway.. for front slash no need to escape that.

Code:

$ sed 's@:@:/@g' t1
se:/mi:/co:/lons:/:/:/ here:/:/ and there.

Hi ,

I need that slash to be printed in the next line whenever it founds a semicolon

sed 's#;#;\n/#g' infile

BTW Shouldn't the example above be:

Code:

echo 'se:mi:co:lons::: here:: and there'|sed 's/:/;/g'
