Editfiles ReplaceAll with Non Alpha Characters

[Brian E. Seppanen]

Hi Folks:

I'm trying to modify a file that has some contact information used by a 
dialup modem for paging.    When updating some locations I need a dial 
prefix, In other locations specific paging providers have to have an area 
code.   

Basically what I'm trying to match and replace on has some non alpha 
characters.   How can I escape these so they are interpreted correctly.  

       { /etc/file
                ReplaceAll phone= With phone=9,
                ReplaceAll ttyS1 With ttyS0
        }


ReplaceAll phone= With phone=9, gives the following error


cfengine:hostname:in/cfagent -f /: 
cfengine:hostname:in/cfagent -f /: 
cf:hostname:/var/cfengine/inputs/cf.test:1592: Wildcards cannot be 
used in this context:


Thanks,
