Stucked with sed, how to replace /
Hi,

I am using sed in way desribed below:

Code:
 sed "
   s/study_seq_no/$STUDY_SEQ_NO/g
   s/table_nm/$TBL_NM/g
   s/dmp_file_nm/$DMP_FILE_NM/g
   s/dmp_file_lst/'`ls \/opt\/abcd\/efgh\/export_dump\/$DMP_FILE_NM*.dmp`'/g
   s/log_file_nm/$LOG_FILE_NM/g
   s/dt_of_init/$DT/g
   s/tm_of_init/$TM/g
   s/mail_rcpnts/$RCVRS/g
   s/mail_rcpts_cc/$RCVRS_CC/g
   s/mail_recpts_bcc/$RCVRS_BCC/g" mail_template_success.html > mail_body.html

and getting error:

sed: Function s/dmp_file_lst/'/opt/abcd/efgh/export_dump/26161-table_nm_01.dmp'/g cannot be parsed.

I am not able to figure out, how to use ls over here. Please help.

Thank you!!

simpler version:
Code:
sed s:dmp_file_lst:`ls \/opt\/abcd\/efgh\/export_dump\/$DMP_FILE_NM*.dmp`:g

Hi,

I am facing some new issue with the use of sed. What if above ls command returns more than one line as result. Its again failing to parse.

Please help.

Regards,
Manu

can you post sample of input file , output of ls command and what replacement/expected output you want to achieve.

Old 03-30-2012
I am mainly concernd with output of ls command, its fetching multiple rows, thats causing problem while parsing.

Old 03-30-2012
Yes.... And what does that output look like, and how is it causing problems, and what would you want instead so we can offer you solutions?

do you want to use all rows returned by ls as replacement string or just specific/any one from the ls output
