RudiC:
Thanks for explanation. I still do not understand. man sed, only tell us 's/REGEXP/REPLACEMENT/FLAGS'.. In your command, 's#/#/text/#', text is REPLACEMENT. So 1st #, 2nd # and 3rd # stand for what? Wildcard for path name? Are they extended expressio or something else? I checked online and other books. I could not find answer. Can you please explain your command in details? Sorry for this. I want to really know the programming logic of your command.
Thanks in advance for your help.
