I interpreted the newline thing not as a qualifier but as a separate point, which I didn't attempt to contradict. It's certainly true that you can't treat the newline like any other character with sed because of its line-oriented nature. But that doesn't change the fact that "normal" sed - at least, the one that comes in /usr/bin on Cygwin - does, in fact, "speak C-style escape chars". And since it has no trouble with carriage returns, the main thing the OP was trying to do works fine. Although, as y'all noted, d2u would be the simpler way to do it. -- Mark J.
