This seems to be very close related to another post of yours so merging both threads.

Code:
sed 's/data/newdata/g' /home/sritest/path.txt

Note that this command will give you an output where the replacement has been done, BUT the input file /home/sritest/path.txt remain unchanged !
...not sure what you are trying to do with the "else" statement

Code:
$ echo "bla/data/bla bla/data/bla"
bla/data/bla bla/data/bla

Code:
$ echo "bla/data/bla bla/data/bla" | sed 's/data/newdata/'
bla/newdata/bla bla/data/bla

Code:
$ echo "bla/data/bla bla/data/bla" | sed 's/data/newdata/2'
bla/data/bla bla/newdata/bla

Code:
$ echo "bla/data/bla bla/data/bla" | sed 's/data/newdata/g'
bla/newdata/bla bla/newdata/bla

Try my earlier suggestion, but with | as a separator and use a character set as context:
Code:
sed 's|^| |;s|$| |;s|\([^[:alnum:]]\)data\([^[:alnum:]]\)|\1newdata\2|g;s|^ ||;s| $||' infile

This is the general case that should work under most circumstances.

In this particular case you could also use something simpler:
Code:
sed 's|/data/|/newdata/|g' infile

Code:
s|^| |;s|$| |

could be shorten
Code:
s|.*| & |
