I thought something like this:
But this just adds "$command".
The reason is that inside a single-quoted string double-quoting has no effect. From the POV of the shell, though, you are inside a single-quoted string. This should work:
Note that the single-quoted string ends, then a double-quoted string starts and when this ends another single-quoted string starts. This may look cumbersome, but it is the only way to ensure the sed-command will not break if "$command" contains whitespace.

Hi,
My shell script searches a VALUE in a file, copies it to a variable and updates a line in another file with this new VALUE (replacing the old)
The value has a pattern-

PPI::Token::Quote::Double(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation PPI::Token::Quote::Double(3)NAME
PPI::Token::Quote::Double - A standard "double quote" token
INHERITANCE
PPI::Token::Quote::Double
isa PPI::Token::Quote
isa PPI::Token
isa PPI::Element
DESCRIPTION
A "PPI::Token::Quote::Double" object represents a double-quoted interpolating string.
The string is treated as a single entity, PPI will not try to understand what is in the string during the parsing process.
METHODS
There are several methods available for "PPI::Token::Quote::Double", beyond those provided by the parent PPI::Token::Quote, PPI::Token and
PPI::Element classes.
Got any ideas for methods? Submit a report to rt.cpan.org!
interpolations
The interpolations method checks to see if the double quote actually contains any interpolated variables.
Returns true if the string contains interpolations, or false if not.
simplify
For various reasons, some people find themselves compelled to have their code in the simplest form possible.
The "simply" method will turn a simple double-quoted string into the equivalent single-quoted string.
If the double can be simplified, it will be modified in place and returned as a convenience, or returns false if the string cannot be
simplified.
SUPPORT
See the support section in the main module.
