Welcome to the forum.


I can't reproduce the behaviour that you show. With "sed (GNU sed) 4.5" it just prints one caret ^ , not an escaped plus an unescaped caret, which I presume is exactly what you want.



Is that a cygwin (or similar) on a windows system? I don't know the peculiarities of that implementation... any chance to deploy another version / tool?
