How to replace a word with a series of words in a file
Hi,
I have a Template file 'TL.body' which says as follows: "There are no <FILENAME> files on the server. " The missing file names are identified and stored in a variable. For Eg: MISSFILE="abc.txt def.txt xyz.txt" I want the values of MISSFILE variable to be replaced against <FILENAME> and store the result in another Temp file. I tried using the following command: sed 's/<FILENAME>/'$MISSFILE'/g' TL.body > Temp.txt However, it gives following error: sed: Function s/<FILENAME>/abc.txt cannot be parsed. Could somebody help me out to overcome this problem. TIA Regards, Ramesh

The sed expression should be surrounded by double quotes.
Code:
sed "s/<FILENAME>/$MISSFILE/g" TL.body > Temp.txt Code:
sed "s/.FILENAME./$MISSFILE/g" TL.body > Temp.txt Last edited by vino; 02-20-2006 at 09:50 PM.
