I have a file in which contains location of various data files. I want to change locations using sed. Find and replace strings are in a separate file. Content of this file (/tmp/tt) -
This is how I am trying to get desired result-
Above is not working. However on command line if I give find and replace string directly, sed is working fine. For example below is fine
So I believe it is the variable that is cauing issue.
Can someone help please.
Thanks in advance for your time
