Further to pludi.

Even if user insists on changing exactly what is being said in sed command, it would not make any difference from what you are replying because the command can be written as:
Code:
sed -e 's/" -"/" DOT."/' ipc > raw

because the pair of single quotes engulf the double pair of double quotes and thus the pattern match will consider the double quotes as literal.

git-sh-i18n

GIT-SH-I18N(1)							    Git Manual							    GIT-SH-I18N(1)

NAME

       git-sh-i18n - Git's i18n setup code for shell scripts

SYNOPSIS

       . "$(git --exec-path)/git-sh-i18n"

DESCRIPTION

       This is not a command the end user would want to run. Ever. This documentation is meant for people who are studying the Porcelain-ish
       scripts and/or are writing new ones.

       The 'git sh-i18n scriptlet is designed to be sourced (using .) by Git's porcelain programs implemented in shell script. It provides
       wrappers for the GNU gettext and eval_gettext functions accessible through the gettext.sh script, and provides pass-through fallbacks on
       systems without GNU gettext.

FUNCTIONS

       gettext
	   Currently a dummy fall-through function implemented as a wrapper around printf(1). Will be replaced by a real gettext implementation in
	   a later version.

       eval_gettext
	   Currently a dummy fall-through function implemented as a wrapper around printf(1) with variables expanded by the git-sh-
	   i18n--envsubst(1) helper. Will be replaced by a real gettext implementation in a later version.

GIT

       Part of the git(1) suite
