Hello,

I'd like to execute it:
sed -e "s#$^\.INCLUDE[ \t]*\"$.*$noMisMatch$#\1$MODEL_DIR\2#g"
totoFile > titiFile

The problem is coming from \" which generate an error.
The first pattern i would like to catch is: .INCLUDE " which is in
regexp $^\.INCLUDE[ \t]*\"$, but " is generated problem with sed
if i use single quote like this
sed -e 's#$^\.INCLUDE[ \t]*\"$.*$noMisMatch$#\1${MODEL_DIR}\2#g'
totoFile > titiFile
I do not have problem to catch " but the $MODEL_DIR is not substitute
by the righ value.

can yoiu help me.

regards,

fabrice
.
