I'm new to linux and I'm creating a shell script to create a new repository on my DNS-323. It does not have bash. So far it's all good except the search and replace part. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong.

The part :-
sed "'s/REALMNAME/\$REALM/g'" svnserve.conf > $ALIAS/conf/svnserve.conf
Is not working for me. It doesn't replace. I've tried escaping the $REALM like \$REALM also won't work.

Code:

#!/ffp/bin/sh

echo Enter the full name of your project
read REALM
echo Enter the alias of your project only [_A-Za-z0-9] is allowed
read ALIAS

proceed() {
    echo "Your alias is '$ALIAS' and your realm is '$REALM'. Proceed? [Y|N]"
    read ANSW
}

create() {
    svnadmin create $ALIAS
    rm -r $ALIAS/conf
    mkdir $ALIAS/conf
    sed "'s/REALMNAME/\$REALM/g'" svnserve.conf > $ALIAS/conf/svnserve.conf
    clear
    echo "Your new repository :-"
    echo "svn://MY-NAS/$ALIAS"
}

proceed
if [ "$ANSW" = "Y" ]; then
    clear
    echo "Creating repository '$ALIAS'"
    create
elif [ "$ANSW" = "N" ]; then
    clear
    echo "Bye"
    proceed
else
    clear
    echo "Bad option"
    proceed
fi

I've solved this.

The correct syntax is :-
sed "s/REALMNAME/$REALM/g" $ALIAS/conf/svnserve.conf
