| I am trying to use sed to change a value in a pipe.
|
| ------------------- This is the two line script
| CHANGE="1234"
|
| cat my_file.txt | sed 's/CANCELID/$CHANGE/' > cancel.txt
| -------------------
|
| and the my_file.txt has:
| <v1:notificationId>CANCELID</v1:notificationId>
|
| it gets changed to $CHANGE instead of the actual value 1234 .
| I tried putting a \ in front of the $ also and made no difference.
|
| What am I not doing correctly.
|
| Thanks,
|
