use for loop variable inside a sed command
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I have based my script on the following quesstion
Find and replace text within a file using commands
I have a lot of files named test_xxx_01.sql in which i need to replace a text testoriginal with testoriginal_xxx
so I wrote the following command
for i in {220,630,1000}; do sed -i 's/testoriginal/testoriginal_${i}/g' test_${i}_01.sql; done
the expected output is that in the file test_221_01.sql, i should now have 'testoriginal_221'.
but instead i have testoriginal_${i}
how can i fix this command?

It's basically a matter of using the right quotes - but be careful of metacharacters. See How can I use variables in the LHS and RHS of a sed substitution?

You need to use double quotes for the expression.
