Are you missing a second / character after the pattern?
Why are you obfuscating the command? Why not SHOW the actual command?

I have no idea how you came up with that.
If you're doing this from bash, you could use bash's special $'...'
quoting to pass a newline encoded as \n .
Otherwise, put an ACTUAL newline inside the quotes. You know, by
pressing the Enter key. That's portable to every sh family shell.
