Replace prefix and suffix of a string
Hi, I'm new about shell scripting, and I need to do something like
abcd **1234** efgh
by
abcd '''1234''' efgh
I know that command sed helps about change one string by another, but I dont know how to keep whatever is inside **_** and replace * with '.
Thanks!

NAME
basename - display portions of pathnames
SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
The basename utility deletes any prefix ending in `/' and the suffix, if present in string. It directs the result to the standard output,

to any of the characters it contains.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Using the basename command.
This shell procedure invoked with the argument /usr/src/bin/cat.c compiles the named file and moves the output to cat in the current direc-
tory:
example% cc $1
example% mv a.out `basename $1 .c`
