MySQL sed doubt - search and substitute string from variable.

hi,
trying to learn more abt sed Smilie

i want to substitute a variable(a) with other variable(b) appended.

Read.txt contains:
Code:
home/test2/abc
home/test/root1

input.txt contains:
Code:
make test "home/test1/none"version="1.3"
wt's wrong test "home/test2/abc"version="1.0"
make save "home/test/root1"version="1.2"
make try "home/test3/user1"version="1.4"

code tried:
Code:
a=`cat read.txt`
for i in $a
do
b=_EDITED
sed -e "/$a/s///$a/$b/" input.txt
done

expected output:
Code:
make test "home/test1/none"version="1.3"
wt's wrong test "home/test2/abc_EDITED"version="1.0"
make save "home/test/root1_EDITED"version="1.2"
make try "home/test3/user1"version="1.4"
