Using parameter in sed script file ?.

[mjuell]

I have this file... insert.sed

10i"Hello"

It inserts a Hello on line 10..

if i export a variable $line_num

I cant use
$line_numi"Hello"


Any ideas ?

I guess you could use sed to modify the script before using it...

sed 's/$line_num/'$line_num/ insert.sed > insert2.sed
sed -f insert2_tmp.sed file1

...but it's a kludge, so perhaps consider using awk which allows you to pass variables to it.
