sed/awk is not working as expected in my Windows Makefile.
I have a text file with \', I want to replace it with ''
cat << EOF > a.txt
\'
\'
''
""
EOF
I can use sed/awk to replace it, this works fine on Windows Git Bash:
sed -i "s/\\\'/''/g" a.txt && cat a.txt
awk '{gsub(/'"\\\'"'/,"\047\047"); print}' a.txt > b.txt && cat b.txt
but with this statement in a Makefile, it will not work:
cat Makefile
replace:
@sed -i "s/\\\'/''/g" a.txt
re:
@awk '{gsub(/'"\\\'"'/,"\047\047"); print}' a.txt > b.txt
# run make command, it did nothing but appending '' to each line
make replace && cat a.txt
# or
make re && cat b.txt
