Hos does this work..the double backslash. I've tried numerous combinations in bash, ksh and sh. But still the only way was as i suggested above. i couldn't get it working with the \\.

Can you post the rest...i.e so I can see how the quotes etc should work around the variable in the sed text.

i.e.

FILENAME=input_file
NEWFILENAME=output_file
sed '$a\
PR_DbConfigEnd '"${FILENAME}"' ' $FILENAME > $NEWFILENAME
