BASH is your shell, what is your system? uname -a if you don't know.
You may be having PATH problems if this is a UNIX system. Or if this is Windows via Cygwin or what have you, awk and sed may not be installed (they are applications, not part of bash)
Please post your script.

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.

shtool(1), sed(1).
