Adding Path at end of line
 

Hey,

I've a problem, I would like to know how to add a path at the end of the line of one of my .sh files.
When I do sed -e '5 s/$/ "/home/root/test"/' -i test.txt, I've an error due to "/" of the path, is therea is a way to tell to Mr.Linux I want to add this at the end of my file ?

Thanks for your help.

You can use any character as the sed delimiter. Choose one that does not conflict, perhaps '%'.

Worked perfectly, thanks a lot for the fast answer.

One more thing, one can I do if I want to insert a variable in the path ?
Because now, if I want to put: sed -e '5 s%$% "/home/$user_name/test"%' -i test.txt

Thanks.

Try this:
sed -e "5 s%$% \"/home/${user_name}/test\"%" -i test.txt

If you literally want to just append it as the last (new) line of the file
