Hello everyone.

Can anyone give me the sed command for replacing a ? with a blank space in a file?

i was trying out with a command resembling this:

sed -e s/?/a/g test

to replace all the occurences of ? with an a. But please advise me on how to use ablank space as a replacement text in the command.

Use a space and single quote the regex.

sed -e 's/?/ /g' test

I think even

sed -e s/?/' '/g test

should work.
