I'm trying to use sed in windows, but can't find any documentation. It works totally different than *IX sed and isn't enclosed in ', uses ^ as an escape character, I can't figure out how to add ascii characters, etc. My batch
file looks like:

for %%a in (*.QQ) do (
sed -b -i s/TID:^ FastEcho^ 1.46.1^ 43288/TID:^ FastEcho^ 1.46.1^ 43288\x0D\x01TZUTC:^ \x2D0700/gi %%a
)
At the end of the first line of sed is a space and the line continues. There are no instructions for handling special characters in windows that I can
find. I'm using \x0D for carriage return, \x01 for the kludge character and \x2D for '-', since it didn't like that in the command. I can get simple expressions working, and ones with spaces, but nothing with ctrl characters
or special characters. I know this isn't the proper area, but the solution
I'm looking for is because Wilfred keeps saying I don't have a TZUTC kludge
in my messages and I'd like to be compliant.

You might find some additional assistance with sed if you try posting in
one of the technical echoes. I don't use it so I am not sure what the differences might be.

I don't know what kind of SED you have in your windows but consider installing cygwin. ;)

I think I'm using cygwin, but it craps out if I try to surround the
expression with '.

I'll try it using variables, like suggested.

Weird, it shouldn't be up there... It should be below the @TID: FastEcho... Let me know if it still looks like that.
