\n is not portable in a s/// replacement string, only in the regex part. backslash-newline helps. Signed-off-by: Ralf Wildenhues <Ralf.Wildenhues@xxxxxx> --- I'm a bit unsure whether you would prefer to avoid breaking the indentation with something like tr '|' '\n' OTOH, \n in a tr set is not universally portable either (for example Solaris /usr/ucb/tr mishandles it, and \012 fails on EBCDIC), but I'm still on my way of finding out the level of portability you prefer. ;-) Cheers, Ralf git-bisect.sh | 3 ++- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/git-bisect.sh b/git-bisect.sh index c18bd32..3aac816 100755 --- a/git-bisect.sh +++ b/git-bisect.sh @@ -276,7 +276,8 @@ exit_if_skipped_commits () { if expr "$_tried" : ".*[|].*" > /dev/null ; then echo "There are only 'skip'ped commit left to test." echo "The first bad commit could be any of:" - echo "$_tried" | sed -e 's/[|]/\n/g' + echo "$_tried" | sed -e 's/[|]/\ +/g' echo "We cannot bisect more!" exit 2 fi -- 1.5.3.5.561.g140d - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
