Hi,

I am reading a file (GC_JAR.log) which has entries like:

511725.629, 0.1122672 secs]
525268.975, 0.1240036 secs]
527181.835, 0.2068215 secs]
527914.287, 0.2884801 secs]
528457.134, 0.2548725 secs]


I want to replace all the entries of "secs]" with just "secs"

Thus, the output should be like:

511725.629, 0.1122672 secs
525268.975, 0.1240036 secs
527181.835, 0.2068215 secs
527914.287, 0.2884801 secs
528457.134, 0.2548725 secs


I tried using sed but it's not working for some reason. I read line by line from the original file ( GC_JAR.log ) and dump the final output in GC_cycles.csv

# !/bin/bash
SOURCE=secs\]
TARGET=secs
cat GC_JAR.log | while read line
do
echo "${line}" | sed 's/"${SOURCE}"/"${TARGET}"/g' >> GC_cycles.csv
done


Any ideas please? what's going wrong with sed command there.
