sed not printing variable
I have the following string stored in a variable from a file
sbCvgXfsuupllsucpp11-aWa
I want to use sed to search for the string in a second file: FileSys.dat
sed -n "${obid}" FileSys.dat
I'm getting "sed: command garbled: sbCvgXfsuupllsucpp11-aWa"
The syntax seems fine...anyone know why sed cannot execute the above?
thanks

Hi everybody,
I am trying to do the thing you see in the title, and I can't simply do
a=$(svn up)
echo $a
because the program (svn) gives output on lots of lines and in the variable the output is stored on only one line (resulting in a horribly formatted text). Any tips?
Thanks,... (2 Replies)

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.
