Hi.

If you are stuck with a sed that does not recognize "-r" such as on Solaris, you can use:
Code:
#!/bin/bash -

# @(#) s1       Demonstrate sed extended regular expression match, substitution.

SED=/usr/xpg4/bin/sed
SED=sed

echo "(Versions displayed with local utility \"version\")"
# version >/dev/null 2>&1 && version =o $(_eat $0 $1) $SED
uname -rs
version >/dev/null 2>&1 && version bash $SED

FILE=${1-data1}
echo
echo " Input file $FILE:"
cat $FILE

echo
echo " As processed by sed:"
# $SED -r -e 's/([0-9]+)-([0-9]+)[ ]*/{\1..\2} /g' $FILE
$SED  -e 's/\([0-9][0-9]*\)-\([0-9][0-9]*\)[ ]*/{\1..\2} /g' $FILE

exit 0

Which yields:
Code:
$ ./s1
(Versions displayed with local utility "version")
SunOS 5.10
GNU bash 3.00.16
sed (local) - no version provided.

 Input file data1:
12-13 15-18 23-28 36-38 42-43 53-56 70-72 76 80-86 93-110 119-128

 As processed by sed:
{12..13} {15..18} {23..28} {36..38} {42..43} {53..56} {70..72} 76 {80..86} {93..110} {119..128}

It seemed to have worked with both versions of Solaris sed ... cheers, drl

psfaddtable

PSFADDTABLE(1)						      General Commands Manual						    PSFADDTABLE(1)

NAME

       psfaddtable - add a Unicode character table to a console font

SYNOPSIS

       psfaddtable fontfile tablefile outfile

DESCRIPTION

       psfaddtable takes a console font in .psf format given by fontfile and merges it with the Unicode character table given by tablefile to pro-
       duce a font file with an embedded character table, which is written to outfile.	An input file name of "-" denotes standard input,  and	an
       output file name of "-" denotes standard output.  If the fontfile already contains an embedded character table, it is ignored.

TABLE FILE FORMAT

       Each  line  in  the tablefile should be either blank, contain a comment (preceded by #), or contain a sequence of numbers in either decimal
       (default), octal (preceded by 0), or hexadecimal (preceded by 0x) format, separated by spaces or tabs.  The first number on each line indi-
       cates  the  glyph  slot	in  the  font that is being referred to, this is between 0 and 0xff for a 256-character font and 0 and 0x1ff for a
       512-character font.  Any subsequent numbers on the same line are Unicodes matched by this specific glyph slot.  Instead of a single Unicode
       one may have a sequence of Unicodes separates by commas, to denote that the glyph depicts the corresponding composed symbol.  It is permis-
       sible to have multiple lines for the same glyph.
