You want this line:

./$PRODUCT_BIN -d $PRODUCT_SUBDIR/config $@

to look like this:

newtask -p $Project_Name ./$PRODUCT_BIN -d $PRODUCT_SUBDIR/config $@

Right? Then:

Just use single quote(') to wrap the command and pipe (|) as seperator:

sed -i.bak 's|./$PRODUCT_BIN -d $PRODUCT_SUBDIR/config $@|newtask -p $Project_Name ./$PRODUCT_BIN -d $PRODUCT_SUBDIR/config $@|' scriptfile
