Full Discussion: grep, sed in a shell script
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting grep, sed in a shell script Post 68799 by Trufla on Thursday 7th of April 2005 07:53:33 AM
Old 04-07-2005
I still have problems:
I typed:-
Code:
#no single quotes/backquotes or back ticks 
-n /Pearce/
#I also tried it without suppression command

I got an error:-
Code:
sed: -e expression #1, char 8: Missing command

I did a search for this type of error, but could not find any info I understand.

I do not know if this makes a difference but I am using a windows PC, and using SSh to connect to a remote unix box.

Would this make a difference?

	      <?php
	      $str = "<p>this -&gt; &quot;</p>
";

	      echo htmlspecialchars_decode($str);

	      // note that here the quotes aren't converted
	      echo htmlspecialchars_decode($str, ENT_NOQUOTES);
