I'm not seeing that.
Here are the contents of temp.txt:
sed -n '/08465696_1215781522540/,/70225547_1215781581748/p' test1.txt

Here is my script, test:

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

sedcmd=$(grep sed temp.txt)

echo $sedcmd

And I get the contents of the file in $sedcmd:

Code:
$./test
sed -n '/08465696_1215781522540/,/70225547_1215781581748/p' test1.txt

Are you sure that temp.txt has the right contents?
