Add text before and after matched string on the same line.
I have a file with many lines. Below I'm highlighting only those line that concerns me from the file.
Code:
....
drwxr-xr-x    4 user1   dba           20480 Feb 25 20:38 /tmp/10203/cust/01
....
drwxr-xr-x    4 user1   dba           20480 Feb 25 20:38 /tmp/10203/cust/01/logs/mtr
....
drwxr-xr-x    4 user1   dba           20480 Feb 25 20:38 /tmp/10203/cust/03/src/files
drwxr-xr-x    4 user1   dba           20480 Feb 25 20:38 /tmp/10203/cust
....

I requirement is to append this string <font color=yellow> and add this string </font> at the end of the found string on the same line.

Thus, if we consider "/tmp/10203/cust/01" the desired output should be changes to the line with the exact match.
<font color=yellow>drwxr-xr-x 4 user1 dba 20480 Feb 25 20:38 /tmp/10203/cust/01</font>

It should not affect the superset string like this one "drwxr-xr-x 4 user1 dba 20480 Feb 25 20:38 /tmp/10203/cust/01/logs/mtr"

I know how to add text before and after the matched string on new line but i do not know how to on the same line with the exact match.

Below is what i tried:

Code:
sed 's/\b\/tmp\/10203\/cust\/01\b/& <\/font>' filename

But it adds the text to a superset string i.e does not exact match.

Can you please suggest ?

dba_open

DBA_OPEN(3)								 1							       DBA_OPEN(3)

dba_open - Open database

SYNOPSIS

       resource dba_open (string  $path, string  $mode, [string  $handler], [mixed  $...])

DESCRIPTION

       dba_open(3) establishes a database instance for $path with $mode using $handler.

PARAMETERS

	      o $path
		- Commonly a regular path in your filesystem.

	      o $mode
		-  It is r for read access, w for read/write access to an already existing database, c for read/write access and database creation
		if it doesn't currently exist, and n for create, truncate and read/write access. The database is  created  in  BTree  mode,  other
		modes (like Hash or Queue) are not supported.  Additionally you can set the database lock method with the next char. Use l to lock
		the database with a .lck file or d to lock the databasefile itself. It is important that all of your applications do this  consis-
		tently.   If you want to test the access and do not want to wait for the lock you can add t as third character. When you are abso-
		lutely sure that you do not require database locking you can do so by using - instead of l or d. When none of d, l or -  is  used,
		dba will lock on the database file as it would with d.

	      Note

		      There  can  only	be  one  writer for one database file. When you use dba on a web server and more than one request requires
		     write operations they can only be done one after another. Also read during write is not allowed. The dba extension uses locks
		     to prevent this. See the following table:

		     DBA locking
