sed: command garbled - when executed with $variables
I have got a file job_tree.lst , which contains 1 line as below
$ cat job_tree.lst
ABC_D_EQ_XXXXX_YYYY_PRD_UX 05/08/2009 05:47 05/08/2009 05:50 IN 13412850/0
I want to get a child job string 3 characters offset from the parent job string (i.e. ABC_D_EQ_XXXXX_YYYY_PRD_UX 05/08/2009 05:47 05/08/2009 05:50 IN 13412850/0 available in job_tree.lst)
The command I am using in shell script to carry out the above task is as below
grep $parent job_tree.lst | tail -1 |sed -e 's*'${parent_job_rep}'*'' '${child_job_rep}'*'
but it's producing an error “SED command: Command Garbled error”
Pl see the test below what I have done in the command prompt
$ cat job_tree.lst
ABC_D_EQ_XXXXX_YYYY_PRD_UX 05/08/2009 05:47 05/08/2009 05:50 IN 13412850/0
$ echo $parent
ABC_D_EQ_XXXXX_YYYY_PRD_UX
$ echo $child_job_rep
XYZ_D_EQ_XXXXX_YYYY_PRD_UX 05/08/2009 05:47 05/08/2009 05:50 IN 13412850/0
$ echo $parent_job_rep
ABC_D_EQ_XXXXX_YYYY_PRD_UX 05/08/2009 05:47 05/08/2009 05:50 IN 13412850/0
$ grep $parent job_tree.lst | tail -1 |sed -e 's*'${parent_job_rep}'*'' '${child_job_rep}'*'
sed: command garbled: s*ABC_D_EQ_XXXXX_YYYY_PRD_UX
But when I give literals in place of substitution variables , it's working see below
$ grep $parent job_tree.lst | tail -1 |sed -e 's*ABC_D_EQ_XXXXX_YYYY_PRD_UX 05/08/2009 05:47 05/08/2009 05:50 IN 13412850/0* XYZ_D_EQ_XXXXX_YYYY_PRD_UX 05/08/2009 05:47 05/08/2009 05:50 IN 13412850/0*'
XYZ_D_EQ_XXXXX_YYYY_PRD_UX 05/08/2009 05:47 05/08/2009 05:50 IN 13412850/0
Can the experts help?
Thanks

mdbfontsize
mdbFontSize(5) The m17n Library mdbFontSize(5)
NAME
mdbFontSize - Font Size
DESCRIPTION
In some case, a font contains incorrect information about its size (typically in the case of a hacked TrueType font), which results in a
bad text layout when such a font is used in combination with the other fonts. To overcome this problem, the m17n library loads information
about font-size adjustment from the m17n database by the tags <font, resize>. The data is loaded as a plist of this format.
FONT-SIZE-ADJUSTMENT ::= PER-FONT *
PER-FONT ::= '(' FONT-SPEC ADJUST-RATIO ')'
FONT-SPEC ::=
'(' [ FOUNDRY FAMILY
[ WEIGHT [ STYLE [ STRETCH [ ADSTYLE ]]]]]
REGISTRY ')'
ADJUST-RATIO ::= INTEGER
FONT-SPEC is to specify properties of a font. FOUNDRY to REGISTRY are symbols corresponding to Mfoundry to Mregistry property of a font.
See m17nFont for the meaning of each property.
ADJUST-RATIO is an integer number specifying by percentage how much the font-size must be adjusted. For instance, this PER-FONT:
((devanagari-cdac) 150)
instructs the font handler of the m17n library to open a font of 1.5 times bigger than a requested size on opening a font whose registry is
'devanagari-cdac'.
