ok, please can you give me an example sed-command which replaces ${.*} with the according environment-variables? I couldn't find this yet and nobody could point me to it yet. The only way to do this I seeing atm is to iterate through $(printenv) and replace all listed environment-variables in the stream using sed. But this way seams very "bloat" to me. And when i write such a tool for myself, why does it matter if i do this with python, perl, ruby, php, c or something else?
