How to ensure that string interpolated into `sed` substitution escapes all metachars
1 answer
I am using below sed command, but if MacAddressPasswordeRegisteryValue is WElcome12# then its producing WElcome12 and removing #. Any way to avoid it?
sed -i "s#^mac.address.sftp.user.password=.*#mac.address.sftp.user.password=$MacAddressPasswordeRegisteryValue#*=#" $APP_CONFIG_FILE
sed

Assuming the password may contain any character, then no delimiter that you use for the sed expression is safe to use. If you had, for example, s/.../.../ and the password contained /, you would have the same issue again.
Therefore, don't use sed here. Instead,
awk -v pw="$MacAddressPasswordeRegisteryValue"
'BEGIN OFS=FS="="
$1 == "mac.address.sftp.user.password" print $1, pw; next 1'
"$APP_CONFIG_FILE" >"$APP_CONFIG_FILE"-new
This would transform
mac.address.sftp.user.password=something old
into
mac.address.sftp.user.password=hello world !#$/
given that $MacAddressPasswordeRegisteryValue was the string hello world !#$/. Other lines would be passed through unmodified to the new file "$APP_CONFIG_FILE"-new.

sedis perfectly fine here as long as the variable is pre-processed (also viased@JeffSchaller).
