You can use GNU grep, or you can use perl, which is easiest I think. This prints out ONLY the ABCDDIR text when found:

Code:
perl -n -e '/ABCDDIR/i && print $&,"\n";'

In this case, you can use perl instead of sed -- this prints out the original text as you want it:

Code:
perl -p \
-e "s+ABCDIR+$DDIR/C+gi" \
-e "s+ABCDIR+$DDIR/C+gi" \
-e "s+ABCDDIR+$DDIR/C+gi"
