I am trying to replace the string



: 'development'


with

I tried a few options including:



sed -i "s|: 'development'|: 'staging'|g" index.php


but without any luck. Output:



sed: 1: "index.php": command i expects  followed by text


Can someone help?

            You don’t need to escape single quotes inside double quotes, see this answer of mine:




            Enclosing characters in double quotes preserves the literal value of all characters within the quotes, with the exception of $, `, , and, when history expansion is enabled, !.




            Thus, these work:



            sed -i "s/: 'development'/: 'staging'/g" index.php
            
sed -i "s|: 'development'|: 'staging'|g" index.php
            
sed -i 's|: '''development'''|: '''staging'''|g' index.php
