Hello,
Do you have any idea why the below sed command is also replacing the value of "PARAMETER2" instead of just "PARAMETER" in file1 ?
% parameter=PARAMETER
% new_value=2
% cat file1
PARAMETER=1
PARAMETER2=1
% cat file1 | sed s/*$/${new_value}/1
PARAMETER=2
PARAMETER2=2
Thanks. (3 Replies)

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.
