If you would tell us what system you're using, we'd have a better chance of giving you working code. There are significant differences between how sed behaves with back references depending on which sed you're using.

Apparently you are not using Mac OS X and you are not using any version of Linux. What OS are you using?

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).
