How to insert strings containing slashes with sed? [duplicate]

by

The easiest way would be to use a different delimiter in your search/replace lines, e.g.:

s:?page=one&:pageone:g

You can use any character as a delimiter that’s not part of either string. Or, you could escape it with a backslash:

s/\//foo/

Which would replace / with foo. You’d want to use the escaped backslash in cases where you don’t know what characters might occur in the replacement strings (if they are shell variables, for example).
