FWIW, I have little experience with busybox sed, but for the others here you go: With echo axbyc | sed 's,x,\n,; s,y,\ ,' I get on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Darwin (minus indentation): anb c GNU sed gives a b c > [3/5] Arithmetic expansion.

But fgrep itself is not portable (it could be grep -F). Also, isn't the $1 to be matched at the end, after a "=" here? FWIW the pattern I posted has survived a few years in Automake, so there is some hope that it works. > [5/5] Again, have you covered all of them? No, oops again.

I actually don't know whether there is a shell that isn't ruled out by $() anyway. Let's drop that one, too, then.
