Don't escape the periods.

Hi,


I'm trying to use sed to find and replace an IP address in a Apache config file as part of switching over to our DR machine. I want to script the process rather than doing it manually. I need to replace 10.2.0.109 with 10.202.0.109. Here is what I have tried based on examples I found online. Since there are periods involved in the string, I thought I needed to escape them.


STRQSH CMD('sed "s/10\.2\.0\.109/10\.202\.0\.109" /home/jdeane/http_dr.conf > /home/jdeane/http_dr.conf')


When I run this, I receive an error "there is an incomplete substitution in a regular expression". Anyone have any ideas?
