Replace using SED + Vars + New Line
I'm trying to use a "sed" with new line, but I want to use this new line in a var like this:
#!/bin/sh
var1='tags'
var2='aw1 n
aw2 n
aw3'
sed -i ':a;N;$!ba;s@'"$var1"'@'"$var2"'@g' *.html
I want to repĺace a pattern tags in my document to a many lines inside my var2.
BEFORE:
tags
AFTER
aw1
aw2
aw3
linux command-line bash sed

:a;N;$!bareads many lines. Do you need this? In your example are those blank lines aftertagsdeliberate? As if you wanted to replace many lines with many lines. Butvar1is not multi-line, so it's not really clear. Please edit the question and clarify.

If I understood it correctly, it should be as simple as replace every ENTER with "n". Like:
sed "s/tags/aw1naw2naw3/g" file
Do not use both (ENTER and n). Let me know if I understood the problem.
and... I just forgot: If you need to put it in a variable, you should "double escape" the n. Like
v=tags;
c=aw1\naw2\naw3;
sed "s/$v/$c/g" *.html

It’s (IMHO) simpler to put the string in quotes; i.e.,c='aw1naw2naw3'orc="aw1naw2naw3".
