here document and double backslash

Question

If I use a here document in a shell script that contains multiple backslashes \'\\\\\', the shell translates it into a single backslash. Can I work around this without chang

Answer 1

As an alternative to what Dennis mentions The command sed can also take care of this.

sed 's/\\/\\\\/g' <<EOF
Print \\hello \\world
EOF

Answer 2

Quote the beginning here document marker:

cat <<'EOF'
Print \\hello \\world
EOF
