Sed variable substitution when variable constructed of a directory path
Hello,
i have another sed question.. I'm trying to do variable substition with sed and i'm running into a problem.
my var1 is a string constructed like this:
filename1 filerev1 filepath1
my var2 is another string constructed like this:
filename2 filerev2 filepath2
when i do sed "s/$var1/$var2/g" inputfile i get an error stating that sed can't parse this correctly. I'm assuming its b/c the string variables contain (/) in the filepath portion... how can i get sed to treat the variable contents as a whole string without tripping up on the (/)? this string was constructed in a previous portion of my script using dirname, so trying to avoid going back and escaping each (/)... any suggestions?
thanks,

I have a 'sed' editor command trying to read contents of one file into another.
v=t1
PX=25
sed '/for/ r /$v/ext/tsfirmfiles.${PX}' /bb/bin/px${PX}.files.2b.deleted > result
I cannot come up with the syntax so 'sed' would do a variable substitution.
Any idea? Thanks a for help. -A (1 Reply)
