removing specific pattern from given input

deebee · #1 (**permalink**) 09-24-04, 11:25

Input file contains :
1.$HOME/aaa.ksh , $HOME/bbb.ksh,$HOME/ccc.ksh, $HOME/cc.ksh, $SQL/mysql.sql, $BIN/mybin,$BIN/bina
2.$HOME/ddd.ksh, $HOME/ddff.ksh , $HOME/fffff.ksh, $HOME/ccccc.ksh, $SQL/qqq.sql, $BIN/mybin, $BIN/bina

If I need to remove $BIN/mybin from the above by using "$BIN/mybin" as a variable, how can I do it?

cat inputfile |sed 's/\$BIN\/mybin//g' works!!
but it doesnt work as cat inputfile |sed 's/\$var//g' where $var="\$BIN/mybin"
can someone help?
thanks

Code:

#!/bin/ksh

file='deebee.txt'
var='$BIN/mybin'

sed -e "s!${var}!!g" $file
