sed question

[Rpger Tavener]

I'm trying to pass 2 variables into a control file for sqlldr. I can get it to work with either one of the sed statments below but I can't figure out the syntax to pass both variables at the same time.

sed "s/${REPLACEMENT_VAR}/${NEW_BATCH_ID}/" sed "s/${SYSDATE_VAR}/${DATE_VAR}/" ${OCAP_TRAILER_CONTROL_FILE} >${OCAP_NEW_CTL}

Thanks!

Hi Roger:

Does this help?

# X=a;Y=A;XX=b;YY=B;echo "a b c"|sed -e "s/${X}/${Y}/" -e "s/${XX}/${YY}/"

Regards!
