The separator after s can be any character. Also, I'd recommend using single quotes around the script unless you specifically need double quotes (in which case the backslashes need to be doubled).

right now I'm trying to replace all occurances of \ with \\
sed \"s|test|test_replacement|g\" file1 > output; #this works fine
sed \"s|\\|\\\|g\" file1 > output; #this generates the following error:

get_magic_quotes_gpc
GET_MAGIC_QUOTES_GPC(3) 1 GET_MAGIC_QUOTES_GPC(3)get_magic_quotes_gpc - Gets the current configuration setting of magic_quotes_gpcSYNOPSIS
bool get_magic_quotes_gpc (void )
DESCRIPTION
Returns the current configuration setting of magic_quotes_gpc
Keep in mind that attempting to set magic_quotes_gpc at runtime will not work.
For more information about magic_quotes, see this security section.
RETURN VALUES
Returns 0 if magic_quotes_gpc is off, 1 otherwise. Or always returns FALSE as of PHP 5.4.0.
CHANGELOG
+--------+---------------------------------------------------+
|Version | |
| | |
| | Description |
| | |
+--------+---------------------------------------------------+
| 5.4.0 | |
| | |
| | Always returns FALSE because the magic quotes |
| | feature was removed from PHP. |
| | |
+--------+---------------------------------------------------+
EXAMPLES
Example #1
get_magic_quotes_gpc(3) example
<?php
// If magic quotes are enabled
echo $_POST['lastname']; // O'reilly
echo addslashes($_POST['lastname']); // O\'reilly
// Usage across all PHP versions
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) {
$lastname = stripslashes($_POST['lastname']);
}
else {
$lastname = $_POST['lastname'];
}
// If using MySQL
$lastname = mysql_real_escape_string($lastname);
echo $lastname; // O'reilly
$sql = "INSERT INTO lastnames (lastname) VALUES ('$lastname')";
?>
NOTES
Note
If the directive magic_quotes_sybase is ON it will completely override magic_quotes_gpc. So even when get_magic_quotes_gpc(3)
returns TRUE neither double quotes, backslashes or NUL's will be escaped. Only single quotes will be escaped. In this case they'll
look like: ''
