Java Replacement of text in a file

Hi ,

I have some data in my file(properties.txt) like this.

# agent.properties
agent.dmp.Location=
agent.name=

I need to relpace the
agent.dmp.location with agent.dmp.Location = /opt/VRTS/vxvm

I am using the follwing to replace the string

AGENT_NAME=snmp
AGENT_DMP_LOCATION=/var/opt
sed "s/agent.name=.*/agent.name= $AGENT_NAME/g" properties.txt > properties.txt.tmp;
mv properties.txt.tmp properties.txt > /dev/null 2>&1


the above command is successfully executing and the value in the file is

# agent.properties
agent.dmp.Location=snmp
agent.name=

but for agent.dmp.Location

sed "s/agent.dmp.Location=.*/agent.dmp.Location= $AGENT_DMP_LOCATION/g" properties.txt > properties.txt.tmp;
mv properties.txt.tmp properties.txt > /dev/null 2>&1


is showing error like this

sed: command garbled: s/agent.dmp.Location =.*/agent.dmp.Location= /var/opt/g

i think the problem is due the variable AGENT_DMP_LOCATION=/var/opt..since it has '/' .

could anyone please solve this issue.
thanks in advance.

snmpa_supervisor - A supervisor for the SNMP agent Processes DESCRIPTION
This is the top supervisor for the agent part of the SNMP application. There is always one supervisor at each node with an SNMP agent (mas- ter agent or sub-agent). EXPORTS

Starts a supervisor for the SNMP agent system without a master agent. The supervisor starts all involved SNMP processes, but no agent processes. Sub-agents should be started by calling start_sub_agent/3 . db_dir is mandatory. See configuration parameters for a description of the options. start_master_sup(Opts) -> {ok, pid()} | {error, {already_started, pid()}} | {error, Reason} Types Opts = [opt()] opt() = {db_dir, string()} | {config, ConfOpts()} | ...
