sed: 0602-404 Function s:\(.*\)\(.\):\1,\2: 738 0 canno

[Marcel1958]

The following line gives the error:

print "$DATUM"" ""${GEMID01}" | sed -e 's:\(.*\)\(.\):\1,\2:'"$GEMID02"" ""$TELAANTAL"

The problem is "$GEMID02"" ""$TELAANTAL" whithout this it works oke

what are you trying to do?

Sorry, i was very short.

I received the following message:
sed: 0602-404 Function s:\(.*\)\(.\):\1,\2: 738 0 cannot be parsed.

What i do is print the variable $DATUM Then
som spaces
folowed by
"${GEMID01}" | sed -e 's:\(.*\)\(.\):\1,\2:'

So the print command is:
print "$DATUM"" ""${GEMID01}" | sed -e 's:\(.*\)\(.\):\1,\2:'

So far so good.

Now i will print in the same line another variable too.

So the print command is:

print "$DATUM"" ""${GEMID01}" | sed -e 's:\(.*\)\(.\):\1,\2:'"$GEMID02"

Now is have the error message

Are you missing a closing / from the sed command

e.g.

print "$DATUM"" ""${GEMID01}" | sed -e 's:\(.*\)\(.\):\1,\2:/'"$GEMID02"

Not tried but just an idea.

Matt.

Also I think sed is trying to do something with the second variable. You've used a pipe from the first echo so it's not part of the print command.

You would need something like

var1=$(print "$DATUM"" ""${GEMID01}" | sed -e 's:\(.*\)\(.\):\1,\2:/')
print $var1$GEMID02

not quite sure if this is what you want, but might be worth a go ...

print "$DATUM  $(echo ${GEMID01} | sed -e 's/\(.*\)\(.\)/\1,\2/')$GEMID02"

if you aren't using ksh ... you could use back-ticks:

print "$DATUM  `echo ${GEMID01} | sed -e 's/\(.*\)\(.\)/\1,\2/'`$GEMID02"
