Ignore escape sequence in sed
Friends,

In the file i am having more then 100 lines like,

File1 had the values like this:
Code:
 
#Example East.server_01=EAST.SERVER_01
East.server_01=EAST.SERVER_01
West.server_01=WEST.SERVER_01



File2 had the values like this:
Code:
 
#Example EAST.SERVER_01=http://yahoo.com
EAST.SERVER_01=http\://google.com
WEST.SERVER_01=http://google1.com

After the running the sed command File1 should be:

Code:
 
#Example East.server_01=EAST.SERVER_01
East.server_01=http\://google.com
West.server_01=http://google1.com


But i am getting the value like below in File1:
Code:
 
#Example East.server_01=EAST.SERVER_01
East.server_01=http://google.com
West.server_01=http://google1.com



If the line had Escape sequence like (\) in Url it is ignoring in output, but i need that (\) for my Application configuration.

Similarly If the line start with (#) we need to ignore the line, with out sed operation

Could you please check on this,

Thanks in Advance
JB
