sed - Replace Line which contains the Pattern match with a new line

kousikan · #1 (**permalink**) 03-23-2007

I need to replace the line containing "STAGE_DB" with the line
"STAGE_DB $DB # database that contains the table being loaded ($workingDB)"

Here $DB is passed during the runtime.

How can I do this?

Thanks,
Kousikan

Code:

sed "s/STAGE_DB/STAGE_DB    $DB    # database that contains the table being loaded ($workingDB)/" FILE > tempfile

sed 's/find_string/replace_string/g' file_name
