Shell Programming and Scripting

its again sed question. i have line -

sed "s/$old/$new/g" "$f" > $TFILE && mv $TFILE "$f"
working well if
old="myoldfile"
new="mynewfile"
but if i want
old="/home/shailesh/1test/"
new="/home/shailesh/workspace/"

it gives error like
sed: -e expression #1, char 9: unknown option to `s'
even i tried
sed "s/'${old}'/'${new}'/g" "$f" > $TFILE && mv $TFILE "$f"
but no success.
any suggetion.

Hi,

Instead of using '/' as a seperator use '-'

Code:

sed "s-$old-$new-g"
