guys,

I need some help on a sed script that works on linux RH 3 but not on a
SUN OS 5.8.

I tried to translate this working linux sed line

s/^\(.*\.\s\)\{0,1\}.*s\s\([0-9]*\.\{0,1\}[0-9]*\)\(.*\)$/\2 \1/

to

s/^\(.*\.[ \t]\).*s[ \t]\([0-9]*\.[0-9]*\)\(.*\)$/\2 \1/

but the zero or one time occurrence \{0,1\} does not work. I even
tried the ? character. Can Somebody help me out please?

if you give an example of input and expected output someone might be
willing to help you without having to disassemble your code.

Or install GNU sed, I guess that's what linux uses.

Try using POSIX sed in /usr/xpg4/bin. man xpg4

Thanks alot guys,

I found a solution, just use gnu sed on the solaris and not the one
that comes along with it. The line below works perfectly for me.

s/^\(.*\.[ \t]\)\?.*s[ \t]\([0-9]*\.\?[0-9]*\).*$/\2 \1/

Use /usr/perl5/bin/s2p to convert your sed line into a Perl script.
On newer Solaris releases, you will also find psed, a Perl-based
replacement of sed.

/usr/bin/sed under Solaris is derived from the original utility
which was developed by Lee E. McMahon in 1973/1974. GNU sed was
developed at the end of the 80s or at the beginning of the 90s
with additional features. A POSIX-compatible version is to be
found in /usr/xpg4/bin/sed.

Andreas.
