Hi Jim,
I want to substitute the value for ${SourceFilePath} and not create a file with the variable name. file.txt is already existing.
My scenario is like this.
file.txt is present on the TEST & DEV
I want to use the environment variable to point either to TEST or DEV.
So i will have one parameter file
PATH=$SourceFilePath/file.txt
I want to write a script which will generate a new file for the following system
TEST server should create a new file abc.txt with the following content
PATH=/db1/Src/test/file.txt
DEV server should create a new file xyx.txt with the following content
PATH=/db1/Src/dev/file.txt
The command or script must only substitute the value for the environment variable.
Thanks for your input.

envsubst
ENVSUBST(1) GNU ENVSUBST(1)
NAME
envsubst - substitutes environment variables in shell format strings
SYNOPSIS
envsubst [OPTION] [SHELL-FORMAT]
DESCRIPTION
Substitutes the values of environment variables.
Operation mode:
-v, --variables
output the variables occurring in SHELL-FORMAT
Informative output:
-h, --help
display this help and exit
-V, --version
output version information and exit
In normal operation mode, standard input is copied to standard output, with references to environment variables of the form $VARIABLE or
${VARIABLE} being replaced with the corresponding values. If a SHELL-FORMAT is given, only those environment variables that are referenced
in SHELL-FORMAT are substituted; otherwise all environment variables references occurring in standard input are substituted.
When --variables is used, standard input is ignored, and the output consists of the environment variables that are referenced in SHELL-FOR-
MAT, one per line.
