Great tip to mass edit a file with lots of paths, using variables and "sed"

Sed "default" delimiter is "/", or at least that's what most people use. I tipically find "|" more readable, so that's "my" default. Regardless, it can still be troublesome if you're dealing with paths and variables, it seems somehow the command will "break up".
