try something like this (assuming here that you are replacing the literal string "$nfotext")


Code:
#!/bin/bash

TAGS="nfo1 nfo2 nfo3 nfo4"

nfo1var="text for nfo1"
nfo2var="text for nfo2"
nfo3var="text for nfo3"
nfo4var="text for nfo4"

cmdfile=./cmds.sed
echo "#commands to insert data between tags" > $cmdfile

for i in $TAGS; do
    eval REP="\$${i}var"
    echo "s/\(\$${i}text\)/"$REP"/ " >> $cmdfile
done

sed -f "$cmdfile" infile.dat > outfile.dat

easy to change this so you don't need a cmds.sed file...

NAME
tracker-tag - Add, remove and list tags. SYNOPSIS
tracker-tag [OPTION...] FILE [FILE...] DESCRIPTION
tracker-tag allows the caller add tags, remove tags and list tags by URN or to list all tags and the files associated with them. The FILE argument can be either a local path or a URI. It also does not have to be an absolute path. OPTIONS
-?, --help Show summary of options. -l, --limit=N Limit search to N results. The default is 512. -o, --offset=N Offset the search results by N. For example, start at item number 10 in the results. The default is 0. -r, --or-operator Use OR for search terms instead of AND (the default) -t, --list List all tags. Results include the number of files associated with that tag and the tag's unique identifier. You can show the files associated with each tag by using --show-files. -s, --show-files Show the files associated with each tag. This option is ONLY available WITH the --list option. -a, --add=TAG Add a tag with the name TAG. If no FILE arguments are specified, the tag is simply created (if it didn't already exist) and no files are associated with it. Multiple FILE arguments can be specified. -d, --delete=TAG Delete a tag with the name TAG. If no FILE arguments are specified, the tag is deleted for ALL files. If FILE arguments are speci- fied, only those files have the TAG deleted. -V, --version Print version. SEE ALSO
