ok... i'm trying to do this from within a bash script... 
first of all it works fine from the commmand line:

OLD='Jun 9 15:57'
NEW='Jul 9 10:10'
sed s/"$OLD"/"$NEW"/g file >newfile  

it replaces whatever is in OLD to whatever is in NEW.
but it won't work within a script...sed: command garbled: s/June 9 15:57

anyhelp would be appreciated. 
thanks
