Seems to work here, and I'm pretty sure those are standard sed commands.
Code:
$ cat InputFile.txt
before
Parameters "CParameters"
after
$ cat TextToReplace.txt
aaa
bbb
$ sed -e '/Parameters "CParameters"/r TextToReplace.txt' -e "//d" InputFile.txt
before
aaa
bbb
after
$ sed -e '/CParameters/r TextToReplace.txt' -e "//d" InputFile.txt
before
aaa
bbb
after
You don't need to \ escape the "CParameters" double quotes, because inside the single quotes. I avoid those confusing \ characters if possible.
Any chance there is a tab character in the pattern? Maybe there is something about the pattern that is "funny" and is confusing us. You might try to find the pattern with grep first, to figure out the regular expression. Another option is to experiment with the final version above with simple pattern, verify that works, then move on to the longer pattern.

ed
ED(1) General Commands Manual ED(1)NAME
ed - editor
SYNOPSIS
ed file
OPTIONS
- Suppress line/byte count messages (for in scripts)
EXAMPLES
ed prog.c # Edit prog.c
echo '1,$p' | ed - file
# Odd way to write 'cat file'
DESCRIPTION
Ed is functionally equivalent to the standard V7 editor, ed. It supports the following commands:
(.) a: append
(.,.)c: change
(.,.)d: delete
e: edit new file"
f: print name of edited file"
(1,$)g: global command
(.) i: insert
(.,.+1)j: join lines together
(.) k: mark
(.) l: print with special characters in octal
(.,.)m: move
(.,.)p: print
q: quit editor"
(.) r: read in new file
(.,.)s: substitute
(1,$)v: like g, except select lines that do not match
(1,$)w: write out edited file
Many of the commands can take one or two addresses, as indicated above. The defaults are shown in parentheses. Thus a appends to the cur-
rent line, and g works on the whole file as default. The dot refers to the current line. Below is a sample editing session with comments
given following the # symbol.
ed prog.c # Edit prog.c
3,20p # Print lines 3 through 20
/whole/ # Find next occurence of whole
s/whole/while/ # Replace whole by while
g/Buf/s//BUF/g # Replace Buf by BUF everywhere
w # Write the file back
q # Exit the editor
Ed is provided for its sentimental value. If you want a line-oriented editor, try ex. If you want a good editor, use elle, elvis, or
mined.
