Re: [PLUG] the character least likely to find in a Unix file name


One more question on this.  Which code pattern would you prefer for
modifying $PATH?  We have an env var that is in $PATH and we are
replacing it with a new one.  That is why the sed command is built
using double quotation marks and have dollar-variables in them.

  PATH=`echo $PATH | sed "s"'$'"$old_phat"'$'"$new_path"'$'`

OR

  PATH=`echo $PATH | sed "s;$old_path;$new_path;"`

thanks,
Amul
