I'm trying to write a script that allows me to change the port number depending on when environment I'm in. I can pass in the port number to my script, but I stuck trying to get sed modify my file with my port number variable. Here is the line I'm executing sed '1,$ s^8080^$Shutdown_Port^' <./temp.xml >./server.xml Since my line started out to be <Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN"> Since Shutdown_Port was 9300, I thought the resulting line would be <Server port="9300" shutdown="SHUTDOWN"> Instead, I got: <Server port="$Shutdown_Port" shutdown="SHUTDOWN"> What am I doing wrong here? Can sed be passed a variable? thanks, Jerome -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
