sed utility to replace /307 with comma

obedkhan · #1 (**permalink**) 02-06-2006

Hi,

I have a requirement to replace '/307' with comma ',' .
for e.g. :
$ cat dm.dat
-------------
decimdal("\307") acct

$echo $l
\307

$echo $k
,

$sed -e "s/$l/$k/" dm.dat > dm1.dat
sed: Function s/\307/,/ cannot be parsed.

I want dm1.dat to be :

$ cat dm1.dat
-------------
decimdal(",") acct

Thanks in advance.
