passing variables to sed function in a script ....

Hello ,

I have a script named testscript.sh
wherein I have two variables $var and $final (both of which contain a number)

I have a sed write function inside this script as follows:
sed '1,2 w somefile.txt' fromfile.txt

Now , in the above i want to pass $var and $final instead of hardcoding 1 and 2 .....
How do I go about???

Thanks in advance,
SD

NAME

Currently there are only three: Pod, DocBook and Text The plugin TYPE format only the file which the extension match with 'can_format' method. Respectively pod, xml and txt for existing plugins. For security reasons the path of file must be include in 'whitelisting' directory. You can use path_to(DIR) to describe directory in mojomojo.conf: Just an example to view the test pod file t/var/files/test.pod : Add this to mojomojo.conf : <Formatter::Dir> prefix_url /myfiles whitelisting __path_to(t/var/files)__ </Formatter::Dir> To see the pod content formatted in xhtml, write in the text area: {{file Pod path_to(t/var/files)test.pod}} To show recursively all files of directory see script/util/dir2mojomojo.pl script. To test it: # start mojomojo ./script/mojomojo_server.pl # run dir2mojomojo script ./script/util/dir2mojomojo.pl --dir=~/dev/mojomojo/t/var/files/ --url=/myfiles Connect to http://server:3000/myfiles/ METHODS

Takes a ref to the content as well as the context object. plugin Return the plugin to use with file attachment format Return the content formatted checkplugin Return 0 if plugin exist checkfile Directory must be include in whitelisting SEE ALSO
