Parsing a file
I am writing some fairly heavy software. As of current solely in bash. It will change the world when I am done. Why do I ask for help? I am thinking a ( as a variable has me stumped. The ones commented I have played with 0 results, $PWD is the current folder we are playing with as per bash.

The software is recursive in it's job, do not assume the same variable. I do NOT WANT to punch it to a new file, -i -e sed does not return the results I am looking for.
Prerequisites:
$FILE=azenis-theme-pack_0.0.4_all.deb
$CONTROL=$PWD/azenis-theme-pack_0.0.4_all/DEBIAN/control
$DEPENDS="libc6 (>= 2.5-0ubuntu1), initramfs-tools (>= 0.40ubuntu30), gtk2-engines-aurora"

Code:
function Addcontrol(){
CONTROL=$PWD/DEBIAN/control
DEPENDS=$(cat $CONTROL | grep "Depends:" | cut -d: -f2)
if [[ $DEPENDS != "" ]]; then
STRIPNAME=$DEPENDS", python"
echo "Original Depends section: "$DEPENDS
echo "New dependancy list: "$STRIPNAME
echo "Adding dependancy: python to $CONTROL"
sed -i -e "s/'$DEPENDS'/'$STRIPNAME'/g'" $CONTROL > $CONTROL".NEW"
else
echo "No Depends: section in control file creating section and adding python to the list."
###BLAH BLAH HERE
fi



#sed "s/$DEPENDS/$/g' control > new.file


#sed 's/, '$STRIPNAME'//g' $CONTROL
#sed -i 's'$DEPENDS'/'$STRIPNAME'/' $CONTROL
#sed -i -e "s/'$DEPENDS'/'$STRIPNAME'/g" $CONTROL
#echo $CONTROL | sed "s/'$DEPENDS'/'$STRIPNAME'/g" $CONTROL
else
echo "No Depends: section in control file creating section and adding python to the list."
# Read control file searching for pattern deleting requires $STRIPNAME
# pipe it 3 times first in case it is not the only "requires"
# second in case no space was used after the comma
# third a catch all.  IE the only requires.
#sed 's/, '$STRIPNAME'//g' $CONTROL
#sed 's/,'$STRIPNAME'//g' $CONTROL
#sed 's/'$STRIPNAME'//g' $CONTROL
fi
}

Hi, welcome to the forum. Try:
Code:
sed -i "s/$DEPENDS/$STRIPNAME/g" "$CONTROL"

Use -i f you want to do in-place editing (only with GNU sed), redirect to a new file without -i if you don't..

---------- Post updated at 15:29 ---------- Previous update was at 14:42 ----------

If one of the variables may contain slashes you would need to change the separator to a character that will never be present, for example if they never contain pipe characters:
Code:
sed -i "s|$DEPENDS|$STRIPNAME|g" "$CONTROL"

I thought I was "TheeMahn", Thanks. I was on the " v/s ', but the results are perfect. Scrutinizer, I do not thank you the end user will. I take that back. Thanks.

Why twice? 2 calls to the subroutine?

Let's test:

This is what you get if you use in-place editing (-i) option and you run the same statement twice...

First of all: I want you to know who I am :<url removed by mod>. I also want to thank you for bringing me though my hard time. I assure you my issue is gone. Only 1000+ more to go through , PPL are wanting to copywrite what I am doing. Please feel me.

Last time I checked, I am a programmer, this may hit a level six programmer. What is a level 6? Automation. That is what I am going to provide. Ignore: <url removed by mod>. Search <search term removed by mod> in google, you will know who I am.
