How to escape plus sign on mac os x (BSD) sed?

Question

I\'m trying to find and replace one or more occurrences of a character using sed on a mac, sed from the BSD General Commands.

I try:

echo \"foobar\"          


        

Answer 1

echo "foobar" | sed -e "s/o\\+//g"

worked for me on Mac OS X 10.6.

I remembered that I replaced my BSD version of sed with GNU sed 4.2, so this may or may not work for you.
