I don't see the output of that anywhere in your output, yet this is the thing that is giving you problems.

If you don't see what is wrong in your local output, maybe share that output with us?

Also, when you run the commands manually, why do you do:

echo $h
echo $k
sed -i "s#.*$h#$k#gI" test.txt

when the command you are having trouble with is something else?

sed -i "s#.*HOSTA#ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2 root@HOSTA#gI" /tmp/test.txt
[download]

Try to bring your manual interaction as close to the scripted interaction as possible. Only then you can see where the difference is between the two things that makes one fail and one succeed.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
