you have to play with word boundary. check your sed man/info page for more info. alternatively, the logic to do this is to iterate each old, check for "old" and when found, change it to "new".. so in bash, you can do something like this, assuming your words are in a file
Code:
#!/bin/bash
declare -a arr
while read -a arr
do
for ((i=0;i<=${#arr};i++))
do
case "${arr[i]}" in
old) arr[i]="new"
esac
done
echo "${arr[@]}"
done < file
output
Code:
$ more file
old gold fold old
$ ./shell.sh
new gold fold new
