comment In bash, how can I convert a Unicode Codepoint [0-9A-F] into the printabale character?
Thanks... I'm still primarily using bash 4.1.5 in Ubuntu 10.04, but it's certainly good to know that it's now available in 4.2. (+1)

comment Why is it that , to newline is working but newline to , is not working sed?
njsg, I think Stephane was suggesting to not use cat when there is no actual concatenation to be done, ie. implying to use <file tr '\n' , or tr '\n' , <file instead, thereby avoiding an unnecessary process.

comment How to convert *text* to {\i text} with sed?
It may depend on which sed you use. I get the same output with \\\i as with \\i. I am using `GNU sed version 4.2.1'
