I tested and I found out that when the text from the Plugin output
contain \ it should be changed to \\
Example
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\Srv.sys has not been patched\n to
C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\drivers\\Srv.sys has not been patched\n

Having the text from the plugin output like this create a proper html
file that include the path of the scanned file ,the detected version
and the expected one.

Is this something that can be easily done with a sed/awk command ?

I believe this issue was fixed with 3.2.1. See http://list.nessus.org/pipermail/nessus-announce/2008-May/000007.html

You're welcome to send it to me directly, but better would be to open
up a problem ticket with our support group if you're a Tenable
customer or file a bug in our bug tracking system, http://bugs.nessus.org/
.
