Re: sed - escape character

["hockchai Lim" <lim.hock-chai@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

my test seems to indicate that the backslash escape character is being 
processed twice.

below producea <\\MCBELL4\BossTemp\NewAccount\LHCTEST2ERROR.csv>
QSH CMD('sed -e 
"s?&1?<\\\\\\\\MCBELL4\\\\BossTemp\\\\NewAccount\\\\LHCTEST2ERROR.csv>?g" 
/home/palhc/sed.txt > /home/palhc/sed.txt.sedout')

ugly.....
