Replacing text

chrchcol · #1 (**permalink**) 07-24-2006

I was using the following code to replace the path names and it works when it is

Code:

echo "$PWD/$f" | sed -e 's/^.*chris\.domain\.com/chris.domain.com/'

IN fact it works great

However I tried to incorporate a variable

echo "$PWD/$f" | sed -e 's/^.*$account\.domain\.com/$account.domain.com/'

And now the output is not working.

Can anyone help.

Drop the single quotes and introduce " ".

Code:

echo "$PWD/$f" | sed -e "s/^.*$account.domain.com/$account.domain.com/"

You do not have to specifically escape the dot (.)

I am using the following

Code:

echo How many hours? 
echo hours
let t=$hours*60

find . -type f -mmin "$t" > holder

Its supposed to find all the files changed in t minutes and put them into the file holder. It does not seem to be working though.
