Problem printing date
Please support our Shell Scripting advertiser: Programming Forums - DaniWeb Sister Site

I have declared a variable:
and I am trying to use sed to replace the word "in" with "out:date:name" but don't know the correct syntax to make $today print correctly. I have tried quotes and double quotes and brackets but to no avail. When I do it like this, $name prints correctly, but $today prints literally "$today"
today=$(date +%m/%d/%Y) and I am trying to use sed to replace the word "in" with "out:date:name" but don't know the correct syntax to make $today print correctly. I have tried quotes and double quotes and brackets but to no avail. When I do it like this, $name prints correctly, but $today prints literally "$today"
sed 's/\<in\>/out:'$today':'$name'/'
