match='<color="red" />' contains a forward slash (/) which when expanded for the search it messes up with the parsing in sed.
Possible solutions:
Escape the offending character in the var
Or change the search/replace delimiter characters to something else
By the way, the backslash before pattern flag g is not correct, it should be a forward slash /g and I do not see any reason for it to exist, in this case.
Thanks.
Idea behind all this is to read user input in numbers from 4-8, and each number present a different html tag and with more options.
So if user input is 6, it will added 4,5 and 6 after $match string.
