in [Shell]

From: trighole on 11 Aug 2010 08:08 Hello, I'd like to execute it: sed -e "s#\(^\.INCLUDE[ \t]*\"\).*\(noMisMatch\)#\1$MODEL_DIR\2#g" totoFile > titiFile The problem is coming from \" which generate an error. The first pattern i would like to catch is: .INCLUDE " which is in regexp \(^\.INCLUDE[ \t]*\"\), but " is generated problem with sed if i use single quote like this sed -e 's#\(^\.INCLUDE[ \t]*\"\).*\(noMisMatch\)#\1${MODEL_DIR}\2#g' totoFile > titiFile I do not have problem to catch " but the $MODEL_DIR is not substitute by the righ value. can yoiu help me. regards, fabrice

What you posted looks fine and works for me: $ MODEL_DIR=abc $ cat file ..INCLUDE " bar noMisMatch $ sed -e "s#\(^\.INCLUDE[ \t]*\"\).*\(noMisMatch\)#\1$MODEL_DIR\2#g" file ..INCLUDE "abcnoMisMatch Regards, Ed.

I am in csh, and you seem in sh, perhaps that is why it is not working
