Sorry, I only caught the first mistake. your other two lines are the same.
There isn't any need for these slashes unless you are moving the text following to a new line.
They are really here in your script to make your command more readable (slashes are also used to "escape" special characters that will be misinterpreted as is the case with your -F parameter). One more point, don't put any spaces after the slash when it's used to continue a command on a new line as this will cause the shell to believe that you want to escape a space; the rest of your command will be ignored.
Note: The -F parameter uses a slash to change how the verticle bar is understood by the shell. Normally it's used as a pipe, now you are telling awk that it is a field separator.
the problem is while replacing the old string with new one with the help of SED i am unable to replace the special characters with new strings. how can i do that?
i dont want the user to be given the trouble to write '\' before every special characters like * , . , \ , $ , &.

regex.h
regex.h(3HEAD) Headers regex.h(3HEAD)NAME
regex.h, regex - regular expression matching types
SYNOPSIS
#include <regex.h>
DESCRIPTION
The <regex.h> header defines the structures and symbolic constants used by the regcomp(), regexec(), regerror(), and regfree() functions.
See regcomp(3C).
The structure type regex_t contains the following member:
size_t re_nsub number of parenthesized subexpressions
The type size_t is defined as described in <sys/types.h>. See types.h(3HEAD).
The type regoff_t is defined as a signed integer type that can hold the largest value that can be stored in either a type off_t or type
ssize_t. The structure type regmatch_t contains the following members:
regoff_t rm_so byte offset from start of string to start of substring
regoff_t rm_eo byte offset from start of string of the first character after the end
of substring
Values for the cflags parameter to the regcomp function are as follows:
REG_EXTENDED use extended regular expressions
REG_ICASE ignore case in match
REG_NOSUB report only success or fail in regexec()
REG_NEWLINE change the handling of NEWLINE character
Values for the eflags parameter to the regexec() function are as follows:
REG_NOTBOL The circumflex character (^), when taken as a special character, does not match the beginning of string.
REG_NOTEOL The dollar sign ($), when taken as a special character, does not match the end of string.
The following constants are defined as error return values:
REG_NOMATCH regexec() failed to match.
REG_BADPAT Invalid regular expression.
REG_ECOLLATE Invalid collating element referenced.
REG_ECTYPE Invalid character class type referenced.
REG_EESCAPE Trailing '' in pattern.
REG_ESUBREG Number in fIdigit invalid or in error.
REG_EBRACK "[]" imbalance.
REG_EPAREN "()" or "()" imbalance.
REG_EBRACE "" imbalance.
REG_BADBR Content of "" invalid: not a number, number too large, more than two numbers, first larger than second.
REG_ERANGE Invalid endpoint in range expression.
REG_ESPACE Out of memory.
REG_BADRPT '?', '*', or '+' not preceded by valid regular expression.
REG_ENOSYS Reserved.
