Re: Including ' in a sed command



If you can guarantee that another spare character will not appear in your input, doing something like this (with @ as the spare) can help to avoid the layers-of-escapes problem.

	… | tr \" @ | sed … | tr @ \"

It's a simple hack, but sometimes they're just the thing. If you are going to strip out all the tabs anyway, for example, you could do that first, and have tab as a spare.
