To help diagnose this issue, we'll need a bit more information, e.g.:
What is the content of the file before sed ?
what is the content of the file after sed ?
what is the content of the file you expected to see?
are there any errors printed to the screen?
what version of sed are you using?

For example, the following sequence works for me:

  $ echo "hello localhost server" > tmp
  $ ip=1.2.3.4
  $ sed -i.bak "s/localhost/$ip/" tmp
  $ head tmp tmp.bak
  ==> tmp <==
  hello 1.2.3.4 server

  ==> tmp.bak <==
  hello localhost server

regards,

Thank you for your response. I got the issue as in my case the command i
was using to get the ip, the ip is coming as array of two ip which was
causing the problem.
