Yea sorry about that. My co-worker mentioned that the underlined wouldn't come through. The '+%D'` is what I had underlined. I thought I had tried the regex before and it didn't work. I just tried it again, and same thing. sed -e "s/\'\W%D\'\`//g;/skipping/d" BEFORE.....: `date --date=2015-01-10 '+%D'` AFTER......: `date --date=2015-01-01 '+%D'` -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Joshua Gimer Sent: Thursday, May 21, 2015 5:26 PM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Re: sed regular expression help *** This is an EXTERNAL email.
