sed error: unterminated 's' command

Question

I run below sed command

sed -i s/abc=.*$/abc=def ghi/g hpq_sf_attach_wf_param.txt

and it gave me error:

sed: -e expression          


        

Answer 1

You need to use quoting to protect special characters, including spaces, $, and *.

sed -i 's/abc=.*$/abc=def ghi/g' hpq_sf_attach_wf_param.txt
