Running FBSD-4.10 Below is a portion of a script that uses sed(1) to change a portion of a line in a file. It works fone for that one.
However, I cannot get it to work on another file (perl.pl file) to change the line: $OrderNumPrefix = "ATX060"; to $OrderNumPrefix = "ATX070"; I suspect I'm not handling the quotes or other operators correctly and it just ignores the change. Here's the snippet of the script I'm trying to use: #!/bin/sh new=`grep -i new /path/to/newfile` old=`grep -i new /path/to/oldfile` sed -i.bak -e "s/$old/$new/" /path/to/myfile ....and, again the line in the file: $OrderNumPrefix = "ATX060"; <---line in the file to change What do I need to change to make it work....??? Thanks for any help! Best regards, Jack L.
