Hi I want to use the sed command to replace a date such as Apr 25 to today. I used the following command but it gives me a garbled error
x=`date "+%b %e"` ls -l | sed 's|'$x'|(today)|g'
the error is: command garbled: s|Apr
it doesnt seem to like the fact that I want to replace a string with a space in the middle. can anybody help me with this error? Thanks Alex.
