You have to use double quotes on the sed command - the shell won't expand any variables in single quotes.

e.g on bash:
Code:
$ cat x.sh
#!/bin/bash

a="CLARK KENT"
b="000099"

sed "/${a}/s/^\(.\{50\}\).\{6\}/\1${b}/" infile
$ ./x.sh

koi8-r

KOI8-R(7)						     Linux Programmer's Manual							 KOI8-R(7)

NAME

       koi8-r - Russian character set encoded in octal, decimal, and hexadecimal

DESCRIPTION

       KOI8-R  is the character set of choice for encoding Russian texts for many UNIX-like operation systems.	KOI8-R is a successor for KOI-8, a
       de-facto standard for Internet Mail, News, WWW and other interactive services at least all over the ex-SU territory.

       KOI8-R is defined by RFC 1489 (Registration of a Cyrillic Character Set).

NOTES

       KOI8-R was designed for mixed Russian/English texts and covers only  Russian  Cyrillic  characters,  so	if  you're  looking  for  Cyrillic
       characters  for	Ukrainian,  Byelorussian,  and	so on, try ISO-IR-111, or KOI8-U (Ukrainian Character Set), or KOI8-C (for ancient Russian
       texts) instead, which are identical to KOI8-R in the Russian Cyrillic letters area.

       A more complete set of Cyrillic characters is also defined by the ISO-8859-5 character set.

   KOI8-R characters
       The following table displays the characters in KOI8-R, which are printable and unlisted in the ascii(7) manual page.
