I'm having a bit of trouble replacing sed's delimiter from a slash to a pipe.
This works...
But this doesn't
Although if i remove the INSERT INTO pattern, the delimiter works...
Any ideas?
When using a character other than slash character ("/") as the delimiter in a context address, the first delimiter must be preceded by a backslash character ("\"), so try:
Since there is no / in "INSERT INTO", why not use the default delimiter? (Note that the delimiter used for the context address and the delimiter used in the substitute command do not have to be the same character.)
Assuming that you're trying to search for the string specified by the variable TD_LOAD_DB, why do you have the backslash before the dollar sign?

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.
SEE ALSO shtool(1), sed(1).
