I am currently working with a bash script to change some names around in 3 files. I am attempting to do this with sed but I haven't been able to get it so it won't replace partial matches.
Below is an example of the files I am trying to edit.
My main goal is to replace foo with test, but I am getting it where either it won't replace it at all or I also end up with test_1 because it edits foo_1.
I have tried the following codes, and a few more that totally didn't work.

file1.txt
ALERTADMIN.FIELD
ALERTADMIN.TX_ALERTS_LOG

file2
ALERTADMIN.FIELD

ALERTADMIN.SECTION_FIELD_WS
