    Thanks to Hardeep Bhogal, Steve Illgen, and David Lodge for their responses.
    It appears that Linux uses the GNU sed which has more functionality than the
    standard sed that comes with HP-UX. I downloaded the GNU sed, compiled it,
    and it does work with the hex values.

    Example:
    File AAA contains one line:

    123456

    I execute the GNU sed as follows:

    sed s/1/'\x32/ AAA

    The output is now:

    223456

    Hello All,
    A co-worker asked me why the following command does not work on HP-UX but
    works on Linux.

    A file called AAA has this one line in it:

    123456

    Command:

    sed s/1/'\x32'/ AAA

    The '\x32' is the hex value
    The result:

    x3223456

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
