Re: [nv-l] "\" in ip address

[Paul <pstroud@bellsouth.net>]

Eduardo,
Try editing the command as show below, the sed command should remove the
\'s before sending.(Note: depending on your version of sed you may need
to tweak this command)

echo "The device $NVATTR_2 generates the following event: $NVATTR_3" |
sed -e 's/\\//g' |
mail -s $NVATTR_2 mymail@mydomain.com

Here was the test I used:

echo "The device 10\.10\.10\.10 generates the following event: NVATTR_3" | sed 
-e 's/\\//g'

which returned:

The device 10.10.10.10 generates the following event: NVATTR_3
