Sed String Substitution

Hi!

I've the following script code with an input parameter:

sed 's/oldstring/$1/g' myfile > newfile

(I launch it with comman line: $ MyShell newstring)

Problem: the substituion doesn't work (oldstring becomes $1, instead of newstring). How could I solve this situation?

Thanks,
Paride
