I don't understand your question fully. Are you saying you want to

REPLACE this entire phrase:

"count(user) = 0" -o "uid = ftp" -n -o "gid = ftp" -n -b \

WITH this phrase:

"read only = no"

Thats corect cassj. See the edited post.

Thanks

Try:

sed 's/"count(user) = 0" -o "uid = ftp" -n -o "gid = ftp" -n -b \\/"read only = no"/'

Just escape the backslash.

Golden rules, think a bit before asking :slight_smile:

 sed 's/\("count(user) = 0" -o "uid = ftp" -n -o "gid = ftp" -n -b\)/"read only = no"/'

Thank Franklin for your help , I understand now where was the original problem(mistake :slight_smile: )
