Passing slash with sed: failure
Hi,
I have a text file with the normal text like:
Code:
rfio://castor/cern.ch/user/p/pooja/WorkArea/Fall11/QCD/QCD800To1000/bkg_40_2_yOo.root

I want to make shell script which ask for the word to replace where it sud take "'/" variable as well. And change it to the pattern I need.

Here in the above code, I want to replace "\\" with "\" . So the code would be like:
Code:
 rfio:/castor/cern.ch/user/p/pooja/WorkArea/Fall11/QCD/QCD800To1000/bkg_40_2_yOo.root

But unsuccessful in doing it so far.

Any help would mean alot.

Many Thanks
Pooja
