Bash Scripting: Is this possible?

[Imahottguy]

Hey there gurus, fans, and students alike! I have another Q about sed. First let me show you my almost working scenario:

#!/bin/bash

QTDO="/mmc/mmca1/.system/QTDownLoad/CKC"
BUSY="$QTDO/busybox"
EZXP="$QTDO/ezxpopup"
SHOW="$QTDO/showQ"
YAN0="$QTDO/yan0_notes"

# ezxpopup and showQ are binaries that allow GUI interaction b/w the user and phone.
# yan0_notes is a unix text editor for my phone, the ROKR e6.
# ezx_hardkey.cfg is a config file that contains app codes that are set to some a custom key, and a carrier set key (non customizable from the phone).

echo '' > name
NAME="$(cat name)"
$BUSY awk '/customizedKey/ {print $3}' ezx_hardkey.cfg > code
sed -e 's/$/ $NAME/' code > new
cat new >> list

What I am trying to do is end up with a file like this:

8a2b9b37-83e7-a8d9-82cf-0bcbe2070002 AppNameHere

I need the space between the appcode and the appname.

How can I use sed in that way? Would I have to write a sed script?

To be clear, I need the sed command to find the end of the line, add a space and the inputed string from the NAME variable, or the name file... Is this even possible? I've searched all over the net and couldn't find a single article about sed that mentioned recalling variables or files within the sed statement. Thanks everyone!

your example isnt very clear and importantly lacks an example source data
and you failed to post the true current contents of list


however a space is represented by usually closed with single quotes ' '

I don't see why you need the files 'name', 'code' and 'new', nor why you use 'cat' and 'sed'.

#!/bin/bash

QTDO="/mmc/mmca1/.system/QTDownLoad/CKC"
BUSY="$QTDO/busybox"

NAME="Rosegarden"
$BUSY awk -v shell_var=" $NAME" '/customizedKey/ {print $3 shell_var}' ezx_hardkey.cfg >>list
