I have this line in CI/CD GitLab pipeline:

sed -i "s|/xxx/yyy/zzz.txt|${WHITELIST_PATH}/g" .env

also tried:

sed -i "s#/xxx/yyy/zzz.txt#${WHITELIST_PATH}/g" .env
sed -i "s|/xxx/yyy/zzz.txt|${WHITELIST_PATH}/g" .env

and all combinations...

But the pipeline cannot execute successfully because:

I guess the problem is in slashes that are included both in sed in CI/CD as well as in variable of CI/CD, ofc I'm not sure. sed: -e expression #1, char 57: unterminated `s' command

How would you replace string data in .env file that is actually a path which includes slashes?

If you use `|`, it's `s|||`, three `|`. `sed -i "s|/xxx/yyy/zzz.txt|${WHITELIST_PATH}|g" .env` – KamilCuk Oct 08 '22 at 17:49
The `g` flag is often unnecessary anyway. If you don't expect more than one match _per line_ it's redundant. – tripleee Oct 08 '22 at 18:17
Thanks a lot KamilCuk, that was the solution! – xphorm Oct 09 '22 at 00:19
