| Summary | 0000533: backslash newline in sed s replacement string | ||||
| Description | The description of the s command in the sed EXTENDED DESCRIPTION includes the following: The meaning of a <backslash> immediately followed by any character other than '&' , <backslash>, a digit, or the delimiter character used for this command, is unspecified. but the paragraph after that describes how backslash can be used to escape a newline. This appears to be a simple editorial omission in the list in the quote above. The propose change adds newline to the list, but also moves the sentence to after all of the uses of backslash have been described, and inserts "unescaped". | ||||
| Desired Action | Delete: The meaning of a <backslash> immediately followed by any character other than '&', <backslash>, a digit, or the delimiter character used for this command, is unspecified. At line 104982 after: The application shall escape the <newline> in the replacement by preceding it by a <backslash>. add as a separate paragraph: The meaning of an unescaped <backslash> immediately followed by any character other than '&', <backslash>, a digit, <newline>, or the delimiter character used for this command, is unspecified. | ||||
