Dear Admins,
the simple answer pointed to me by many was to replace single
quotes with double quotes. thank you all, julius

original problem:
> i am having a senior moment, so please be gentle. i need to pass a
> value to sed for replacement, like this:
>
> newvalue=`somecommandoutput`
> sed -e 's/oldvalue/$newalue/'|process-further
>
> i need the sed to see the contents of $newvalue, not the "$newvalue"
> varbatim. how do i do that? tia, julius
