You are specifying the boundary character incorrectly. Observe:

Code:
vnix$ variant=ick
vnix$ echo \b"$variant"\b
bickb
vnix$ echo "\b$variant\b"
\bick\b
vnix$ echo "\\b$variant\\b"
\bick\b

Only the last one is correct and portable; the middle one might or might not blow up in your face.

We should really have a quoting FAQ here in the forums. In the meantime, read UNIX Shell Quote

Though, if you are running awk on the file anyway, why don't you put this logic in the awk script, too?
