Please note that '#' is a valid filesystem name character.

There are relatively few values which are safely excludable.  In your
case this shouldn't be a problem, but in the general case (I'm working
on a script that needs to do path parsing) it's a bit of a pain.

i agree with that - the underscore that was used is also valid. you might look at proper quoting of variables to avoid this. something like cat text.txt | sed -e 's/bbb.*/bbbb:"$PWD"/' > new.txt
