sed with complicated variable pattern
Hi,
Below is the content of the file how it looks:
# EMAIL
#export BMS_EMAIL_ENABLED=true
export BMS_EMAIL_ENABLED=false
#export BMS_EMAIL_SERVER=esasmtp01.kohls.com
export BMS_EMAIL_SERVER=esasmtp01.kohls.com.SMTP_SERVICE
export BMS_EMAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=ec_notify@kohlsectest.com
export BMS_EMAIL_TO_ADDRESS=ec_notify@kohlsectest.com

Here, I want to replace this line
#export BMS_EMAIL_ENABLED=true
with
export BMS_EMAIL_ENABLED=true. Removing #. There are several fields in the file which can have #export, so cannot use this
Code:
sed -i '' -e's/#export/export/' pravinkumartse.env

I'm trying with this
Code:
sed -i '' -e"s/#${svar5}/${svar5}/" pravinkumartse.env

But it removes # all over the file along with substituting.

variable svar5 has the value as 'export BMS_EMAIL_ENABLED=true'.

Problem here is the search term i'm using in sed - #${svar5}.
Please help me.

unshare_nfs

unshare_nfs(1M) 					  System Administration Commands					   unshare_nfs(1M)

NAME

       unshare_nfs - make local NFS file systems unavailable for mounting by remote systems

SYNOPSIS

       unshare [ -F nfs] pathname

DESCRIPTION

       The  unshare  command makes local file systems unavailable for mounting by remote systems. The shared file system must correspond to a line
       with NFS as the FSType in the file /etc/dfs/sharetab.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -F	This option may be omitted if NFS is the first file system type listed in the file /etc/dfs/fstypes.

FILES

       /etc/dfs/fstypes

       /etc/dfs/sharetab

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+
       |Availability		     |SUNWnfssu 		   |
       +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+

SEE ALSO

       nfsd(1M), share(1M), attributes(5)

NOTES

       If the file system being unshared is a symbolic link to a valid pathname, the canonical path (the path which  the  symbolic  link  follows)
       will be unshared.

       For  example,  if  /export/foo is a symbolic link to /export/bar (/export/foo -> /export/bar), the following unshare command will result in
       /export/bar as the unshared pathname (and not /export/foo):

       example#  unshare -F nfs /export/foo

       For file systems that are accessed by NFS Version 4 clients, once the unshare is complete, all NFS Version 4 state  (open  files  and  file
       locks)  are  released and unrecoverable by the clients. If the intent is to share the file system after some administrative action, the NFS
       daemon (nfsd) should first be stopped and then the file system unshared. After the administrative action is complete, the file system would
       then be shared and the NFS daemon restarted. See nfsd(1M)
