I am not the sole source of wisdom in the list. Please address your
questions there. I have forwarded my response to the list.
When I view this message (Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-2022-jp")
all the backslashes I paste from the bash console window show up as yen
symbols.
On the other hand, the command worked as I expected. The following three
lines, starting with "$", are cut and pasted from my console window. The
first line under the command is what I typed in and the second line is the
output (STDIN -> sed -> STDOUT). Maybe you have varying characters for "'"
or "-" in the sed expression.
$ sed -e 's-\\-/-g'
\\\\\\\
///////
My environment:
MS Windows XP
ash 20011018-1
bash 2.05a-2
cygwin 1.3.7-1
sed 3.02-1
I run bash in a console window using the icon created by setup.exe. You
don't seem to have rxvt loaded, so you are probably doing the same.
=== Late news ===
I get the same error you do when I try to run sed at the MSDOS prompt.. Use
the bash prompt instead when you want to use Cygwin utilities. It's a much
more consistent and reliable environment.
