The reason for your problem is that your variables contain spaces and a space character is interpreted by the shell as a field separator. Consider the following:
The shell will treat "arg1" and "arg2" as different arguments. If you want these to be one argument of the form "arg1 arg2" you will have to use quotation marks to explain that to the shell:
Here is your corrected script. Notice the differences (btw. i have shortened the superfluous pipeline into one sed invocation):
I have a 'sed' editor command trying to read contents of one file into another.
v=t1
PX=25
sed '/for/ r /$v/ext/tsfirmfiles.${PX}' /bb/bin/px${PX}.files.2b.deleted > result
I cannot come up with the syntax so 'sed' would do a variable substitution.
Any idea? Thanks a for help. -A (1 Reply)

gri_merge
GRI_MERGE(1) General Commands Manual GRI_MERGE(1)NAME
gri_merge - merge multiple Gri output files into a single PostScript file.
USAGE (style 1):
gri_merge [OPTIONS] CxR a.ps b.ps ... > merged_file.ps
Merges the files onto one page, in 'C' columns and 'R' rows. The CxR files are given in the order of words on a page. The page is pre-
sumed to be 8.5x11in in size, as are all the input files, and the input files are sized to fit, and kept in natural scale.
USAGE (style 2):
gri_merge [OPTIONS] xcm ycm enlarge a.ps [b.ps ...] > merged_file.ps
Where `enlarge' is a scale factor applied after offsetting `xcm' to the right and `ycm' upward.
EXAMPLE (style 2):
The following
gri_merge 2 12 .5 a.ps
12 12 .5 b.ps
2 2 .5 c.ps
12 2 .5 d.ps > all.ps
produces 4 panels from gri plots done using margins and sizes as specified in the following lines in a gri commandfile
set x margin 2
set x size 15
set y margin 2
set y size 15
The OPTIONS, available if your 'perl' has 'getopts' library, are:
-u graylevel -- set graylevel for underlay beneath panels, by default 0.75.
Values range from 0 (black) to 1 (white), although a value of precisely 1 means do NOT draw underlay.
-b graylevel -- Set value for background under individual panels, again 0
for black to 1 for white, with 1 meaning no drawing.
-h-- Print this help message and quit.
