Hi i have this sed command to find the word old and replace with 'new' (with single quote in between)
My problem is the single quote dont recognize below is my script.

sed 's/old/'new'/' file.txt > newword
mv newword file.txt

sigh...
i finally made it work after trying and just adding the '\ here's how...

sed 's/old/'\'new\''/' file.txt > neword
mv newword file.txt
