Well, I spent a couple of hours playing in sed and couldn't find a way - but then I'm not very good with sed!
I did manage to create a solution of sorts with awk.
It uses a csv containing the variable name, 'apply' fieldname, 'type' fieldname, and the replacement field name to use. E.g.:
Bash script - creates an awk (actually gawk) program using the csv data, and then calls it:
Which seems to work:
I'm sure there must be an easier way though (and I suspect enough variables to replace will cause something in there to fail horribly).
