So I tried running this script on my iLiad with the busybox sed. It gave me the output: "sed: bad format in substitution expression"

However, I compiled the GNU version of Sed, ran that on the iLiad, and it did the replacement without a problem. I can distribute the gnu sed with the package, but I'd like to know why busybox doesn't like my sed script. Any ideas?
