Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi All,

I have written a grep command to grep the files containing Windows directories.
I need to output this to a csv.

So here is the code.

Code:

 
OUTPUT_FILE="Sample-format.txt"
ACT_OUTPUT_FILE="Sample-format.csv"
 
grep -wHrnI --exclude=*.log '[A-Za-z]:[/\]\{1,2\}[A-Za-z]*[/\]\{1,2\}*' .>$OUTPUT_DIR/$OUTPUT_FILE
paste -s -d"\n" $OUTPUT_DIR/$OUTPUT_FILE|tr ":" "|" >>$OUTPUT_DIR/$ACT_OUTPUT_FILE

Now the problem is, when i do

Code:

 tr ":" "|"

, then the search result which contains windows path like for eg: C:\jfj\ff is getting divided into two columns.

Can anybody please give me some inputs to solve this problem.
