Rob Landley 25d82397f7 The last patch broke: ... sed -i "/^boo/a fred" ipsec.conf Which works in gnu sed. (And is _supposed_ to strip all the whitespace before "fred".) It also broke: sed -i -e "/^boo/a \\" -e " fred" ipsec.conf I.E. there can legally be spaces between the a and the backslash at the end of the line. And strangely enough, gnu sed accepts the following syntax as well: sed -i "/^boo/a \\ fred" ipsec.conf Which is a way of having the significant whitespace at the start of the line, all on one line. (But notice that the whitespace BEFORE the slash is still stripped, as is the slash itself. And notice that the naieve placement of "\n" there doesn't work, it puts an n at the start of the appended line. The double slashing is for shell escapes because you could escape the quote, you see. It's turned into a single backslash. But \n there is _not_ turned into a newline by the shell. So there.) This makes all three syntaxes work in my tests. I should probably start writing better documentation at some point. I posted my current sedtests.py file to the list, which needs a lot more tests added as well...		2004-04-01 09:23:30 +00:00
