Data Sed command needs to be corrected.
Hi All,
I am writing a simple script for find and replace strings in a bunch of files.Everything looks good except for the sed command , since it has a "/" in the search command and "$" in the replace string.
Please find the script below. Can someone please help me in getting to the right sed command.

BTW, this is HP unix.


Code:
#!/bin/sh
#Shell script for find and replace string.
file_path="/lv8/diamond/users/dk3388/SR46575/tmp/"
search_text="/lv8/diamond/shprod"
replace_text="\$NLROOTDIR"
for i in `ls $file_path`
do
cp $file_path/$i $file_path/$i.bkp
sed -e "s \$search_text/$replace_text/g" $file_path/$i
done

Code:
sed -e "s#${search_text}#${replace_text}#g" $file_path/$i
