[nylug-talk] noob bash sed confusion

[jh]

I'm trying to use sed in bash, and i'm getting rather confused with 
quotes and escapes. I'm hoping that someone can help...

OK, this works fine from the bash prompt:

sed -e 's/source\ src\ {/source\ src\ 
{unix-stream("\/home\/foo2\/dev\/log");/g' file.txt

I'd like to do the same thing, but use a variable for the replace 
argument instead of foo2. How can I do this within a bash script?

Thanks
