I am trying to replace the literal term \\n
(not a newline, the literal) by the literal \\\\n
using sed
. I've tried this:
echo '"Refreshing \n\n\n state prior"' | sed 's/\\n/\\\n/g'
This "works" but I need it to output the literal characters \\\\n
. Right now I end up with something like this:
"Refreshing \
\
\
state prior"
Is there a way for me to maintain the \\\\n
in sed
output?
To get \\\\n
add one more \\
to your sed:
echo "Refreshing \n\n\n state prior" | sed 's/\\n/\\\\n/g'
What you were trying to do with \\\\\\n
was to print \\
character and then add \\n
which caused a new line.
Change sed 's/\\\\n/\\\\\\n/g'
to:
sed 's/\\n/\\\\n/g'
If you want to replace \\n
with \\\\n
