После запуска этого кода
#!/bin/bash
rm -f myfile myfile-individual
echo "Greetings, foobar!" > myfile
MYSTRING="Jack"
cat myfile | sed 's:foobar:$MYSTRING:' > myfile-individual
мы в конечном итоге получаем
Greetings, $MYSTRING!
в myfile-individual.
Какой должен быть скрипт (sed/bash) для вывода вместо этого
Greetings, Jack!
решение1
Поменяйте одинарные кавычки на двойные. И удалите кошку (UUoC):
sed "s:foobar:$MYSTRING:" myfile > myfile-individual
Из man-страницы bash:
Enclosing characters in single quotes preserves the literal value of
each character within the quotes. A single quote may not occur between
single quotes, even when preceded by a backslash.
Enclosing characters in double quotes preserves the literal value of
all characters within the quotes, with the exception of $, `, \, and,
when history expansion is enabled, !. The characters $ and ` retain
their special meaning within double quotes. The backslash retains its
special meaning only when followed by one of the following characters:
$, `, ", \, or <newline>. A double quote may be quoted within double
quotes by preceding it with a backslash. If enabled, history expansion
will be performed unless an ! appearing in double quotes is escaped
using a backslash. The backslash preceding the ! is not removed.

sed -i 's|foobar|$MYSTRING' myfile-individual
Это выполнит замену, а также запишет ее в файл.
