Change [digit][digit]:[digit][digit] to [digit][digit].[digit][digit] 2

[blarneyme]

Have a file with multiple fields with time in the format:

15:02

that I want in the format

15.02

No matter what I use with sed I'm not getting the desired change.

sed 's/\(\d{2}):\(\d{2})/\(\d{2})\.\(\d{2})/g' file > file1
sed 's/[0-9]:[0-9]/[0-9]\.[0-9]/g' file > file1

Neither of the above gives desired output. What am I missing?

Hi

What am I missing?

The escaping :
[tt]sed 's/\(\d[red]\[/red]{2[red]\[/red]}[red]\[/red]):\(\d[red]\[/red]{2[red]\[/red]}[red]\[/red])/???/g' file > file1[/tt]

The quantifier :
[tt]sed 's/[0-9][red]\{2\}[/red]:[0-9][red]\{2\}[/red]/???/g' file > file1[/tt]

The capturing :
[tt]sed 's/[red]\([/red][0-9]\{2\}[red]\)[/red]:[red]\([/red][0-9]\{2\}[red]\)[/red]/???/g' file > file1[/tt]

Reading the documentation :
[tt]sed 's/\([0-9]\{2\}\):\([0-9]\{2\}\)/[red]\1[/red].[red]\2[/red]/g' file > file1[/tt]
