sed with special characters
Hi,

I am reading a file (GC_JAR.log) which has entries like:

511725.629, 0.1122672 secs]
525268.975, 0.1240036 secs]
527181.835, 0.2068215 secs]
527914.287, 0.2884801 secs]
528457.134, 0.2548725 secs]


I want to replace all the entries of "secs]" with just "secs"

Thus, the output should be like:

511725.629, 0.1122672 secs
525268.975, 0.1240036 secs
527181.835, 0.2068215 secs
527914.287, 0.2884801 secs
528457.134, 0.2548725 secs


I tried using sed but it's not working for some reason. I read line by line from the original file ( GC_JAR.log ) and dump the final output in GC_cycles.csv

# !/bin/bash
SOURCE=secs\]
TARGET=secs
cat GC_JAR.log | while read line
do
echo "${line}" | sed 's/"${SOURCE}"/"${TARGET}"/g' >> GC_cycles.csv
done


Any ideas please? what's going wrong with sed command there.

opendkim-atpszone(8)					      System Manager's Manual					      opendkim-atpszone(8)

NAME

       opendkim-atpszone - DKIM ATPS zone file generation tool

SYNOPSIS

       opendkim-atpszone  [-A]	[-C  address]  [-E  secs]  [-h	hash]  [-N  ns[,...]]  [-o file] [-r secs] [-R secs] [-S] [-t secs] [-T secs] [-v]
       [dataset]

DESCRIPTION

       opendkim-atpszone generates a file suitable for use with named(8) to publish a set of domains authorized as third-party signers for a local
       domain.

       The dataset parameter should specify a set of data as described in the opendkim(8) man page.  It can currently refer to flat files, Sleepy-
       cat databases, comma-separated lists, LDAP directories or SQL databases.  The keys in the named database are assumed to comprise a  set	of
       domains	that  are  to be advertised using the experimental Authorized Third-Party Signers protocol as permitted to sign mail using DKIM on
       behalf of the local domain.  Values in the database are not used.

OPTIONS

       -A     Adds a "._atps" suffix to records in the zone file.

       -C contact
	      Uses contact as the contact information to be used when an SOA record is generated (see -S below).  If not specified, the userid	of
	      the executing user and the local hostname will be used; if the executing user can't be determined, "hostmaster" will be used.

       -E secs
	      When generating an SOA record (see -S below), use secs as the default record expiration time.  The default is 604800.

       -h hash
	      Specifies  which	SHA  hash  algorithm to use.  Must be one of "none", "sha1" and "sha256", with "sha256" being the default if it is
	      available.

       -N nslist
	      Specifies a comma-separated list of nameservers, which will be output in NS records before the TXT records.  The first nameserver in
	      this list will also be used in the SOA record (if -S is also specified) as the authority hostname.

       -o file
	      Sends output to the named file rather than standard output.

       -r secs
	      When generating an SOA record (see -S below), use secs as the zone refresh time.	The default is 10800.

       -R secs
	      When generating an SOA record (see -S below), use secs as the zone retry time.  The default is 1800.

       -S     Asks for an SOA record to be generated at the top of the output.	The content of this output can be controlled using the -E, -r, -R,
	      -T options.  The serial number will be generated based on the current time of day.

       -t ttl Puts a TTL (time-to-live) value of ttl on all records output.  The units are in seconds.

       -T secs
	      When generating an SOA record (see -S below), use secs as the default record TTL time.  The default is 86400.

       -v     Increases the verbosity of debugging output written to standard error.
