Thanks, Nicolas - it worked perfectly.

An exclamation mark has a special meaning for some terminals, related
to command history. If I'm right, the command "!n" where n is an
integer repeats the n-th last command; and "blabla!<tab> looks for
older commands matching blabla.
Anyway. I had the same problem. The only workaround I found was to
disable the history search features in bash :
Add :
set +o histexpand
at the bottom of ~/.bashrc,
source ~/.bashrc
and your problem should be fixed.
Does anyone has a better workaround ?

When I used replace.py and tried to use an
"!" in the replace text, it
replaced it with a weird string of text (actually part of a replace
command
I ran weeks ago).
I've been able to fix everything except getting the ! where it should be.
If I run:
python replace.py -cat:"The Transition Handbook" "-- Please do not remove
"
"!-- Please do not remove "
...t doesn't change anything.
If I try a backslash before the exclamation mark, "\!", it prompts to
insert
it including the backslash.
How do I just insert a "!"? I tried looking online but found nothing.
Thanks
Chris
