I have a file with words, one word per line, which I now want to change so that is becomes a .sh-file with an egrep-search string for each word. The search string I want in the end looks like this:

`egrep -wi '|WORD..nn' stats_all.txt > WORD_frekvens.txt`

My word file looks like this:

$ more -10 word_file.txt

anakonda

ord

tröja

bord

glas

pension

larm

risk

försening

rapport

I have tried to do this with the following string:

sed -e 's/(.*)/egrep -wi '''|1..nn''' stats_all.txt > 1_frekvens.txt/' word_file.txt | more

But it gives the output:

_frekvens.txt_all.txt > WORD

Why doesn't it work to use the 1 here? It seems to be this part that's the problem, as it works if I exchange it for a word.

Anything I write after 1 ends up writing over the content of 1, i.e. "WORD". If I write something only before 1 it works fine.

Very grateful for any help.
