From the keyboard of ltaylor@blinky.East.Sun.COM (Laura Taylor):
:i figured out the answer to the last question i posted myself:
:
:set result = `grep "search string" searchfile | awk '{print $3}' | uniq`
:
:piping through uniq was the ticket.

I'll bet sort -u will work better than uniq.  Check the docs.

Oh my, that does look like a csh script, doesn't it?  I'll
bet you've got other problems awaiting you.

:however, now a new problem arises.
:
:my variable $result = /some/long/unix/directory
:
:i want to use sed to replace it with /some/other/long/unix/directory
:
:the sed command should be something like this:
:
:sed s/$result/"/some/other/long/unix/directory"/ searchfile > newfile 
:
:however this doesn't work. the problem is definitely related to the
:"/"es in the unix tree names. anyone know what is wrong with this
:sed string?

    s!/this/and/that!another/thing/here!
