outputing sed to a variable
Hello,
My appologies for asking a very basic question but...
In a shell, I enter:
echo tit | sed -e s/tit/tat/g
This returns:
tat
as expected.
But when I enter:
set test = `echo tit | sed -e s/tit/tat/g`
echo $test
This returns an empty line.
Why is this so and how can I get my variable "test" to contain the result of my sed command rather than an empty result?
Thank you!

I was wondering if someone could show me what I'd need to do in C programming language to output the current values of all of your environment variables and do so in such a way that it will duplicate an "env" command on unix. Does anyone know how and can you share it with me?
Thanks in advance. (2 Replies)
