Hello people,

Please help me solving this as I am not expert in unix scripting.

script:
#!/bin/ksh
v=$1
sed -e "s/PART_LIST=/PART_LIST=$v" myfile.txt

output:
sed: command garbled: s/PART_LIST=/PART_LIST=test

Regards
G

Hi

Code: 
sed -e "s/PART_LIST=/PART_LIST=$v[COLOR=red pink]/[/color]" myfile.txt
Note that if $v contains slashes ( / ), you will have to escape them.

Feherke.
