As far as I know there isn't a way to retrieve environment variables inside of sed scripts even on the most delightful GNU and Unix platforms. AWK or Perl or Python or Ruby would generally be recommended in that case since those do have that capability. I would probably use the shell to create the sed script with the variables already expanded. > I'm using GNU SED for windows I am not a user of ms-windows and so do not know very much about it but I wanted to talk about the use of sed on GNU and Unix. > and made a batch file like this... > Set myTemp_Value="Hello world" > SED -n -f mySedScript.TXT targetFile.TXT > but... > How can i use DOS Environment variable in SED Script File? If you can also use bash for the script shell then have bash expand the variables in the script before calling sed. #!/bin/sh VAR1=foo VAR2=bar cat >mySedScript.TXT <<EOF s/$VAR1/$VAR2/g EOF sed -n -f mySedScript.TXT targetFile.TXT Bob
