size=1>thanks guys, was making one of the most stupid mistakes, kept
trying with the single quote instead of double quote after the sed . One of
those End of Day Mistakes...Anyway thanks again >>>

have described, it is relatively simple:the_val=$1
#set a script variable to the passed
valuecat text_file | sed "s.abc/xyz.$the_val.g" >new_filemv new_file
text_fileKeep it as simple as possible.-----Original
