sed search and replace command
Hi,

I would like to seek help on how i can arrive on this result.

sample.txt:
product_code IN (param001) and product_type IN (param004)
product_code IN (param002) and product_type IN (param005)
product_code IN (param003) and product_type IN (param006)

I would like to change the param001 to 'RB23','J'

I tried this command in sed but it has error.

$ sed 's/param001/'RB23','J'/g' sample.txt > sample.out

output should be:
product_code IN ('RB23','J') and product_type IN (param004)

I am new to sed and it would be nice if you can help me on this. Thanks in advance.

Thanks!

gentapes

gentapes(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       gentapes(8)

Name
       gentapes - produce distribution mag tape media

Syntax
       /usr/sys/dist/gentapes [-{wv}] [hostname:]product_code special

Description
       The  utility is used to produce MT9 or TK50 mag tape distribution media.  The utility searches for the product_code as provided by the user
       on the command line, plus the letters "TK" which is appended to the product code by the utility.  If  a	corresponding  kit  descriptor	is
       found  in  the  utility uses the information in the kit descriptor to copy files to the tape media mounted on tape drive special.  Once all
       files have been transferred, the tape is rewound and each file is verified by using the results of and comparing it to sums  given  in  the
       kit  image  file.   The utility can support multi-volume tape kits, and multiproduct tape kits.	See for information on how to set up these
       features.

       The optional hostname: is the name of a remote TCP/IP network machine that contains the kitcap file.  The utility will search on the remote
       machine for the product_code and use it for creating the media.	The colon (:) is a required delimiter for TCP/IP networks, and there is no
       space between the colon and the product_code.  For example, if the product code was ULT-2.2-V-BW, and the kitcap file to  be  used  was	on
       node "mynode", the proper syntax for this option would be
	    mynode:ULT-2.2-V-BW

       The  product_code  is  a  user  defined code that is located in and describes the partition, directories, and subsets that make up a kitcap
       description.  It can be any set of numbers or letters and is usually formed in a way to have some meaning relative to the product  that	it
       describes.  For example, if the product name is MYPRODUCT and it is version 1, the product_code might be MYP010.

       The special argument is used to specify a special device such as /dev/nrmt?l.

Options
       -w     Write only.

       -v     Verify only.

	      If neither option appears on the command line, the utility by default will write and then verify the files in the kit descriptor.

Restrictions
       You  must  be  a  superuser  to run this program.  If the optional hostname is used, you must be able to access files on the remote host as
       superuser.

Files
       ra device special files
