Hi,
I'm making a script that automaticaly set file size and path in xml file.
I tried with :
sed -i 's/BOOTPATH/TEST/g' file.xml
it works fine
but if I use a viriable :
sed -i 's/BOOTPATH/$bootpathf/g' file.xml
with this one, no change are made.
I don't understand why. If a make a
echo $bootpathf
the displayed value is correct.
