I use this to generate svn logs for a specific user:

svn log | sed -n '/bob/,/-----$/ p'

which works fine. Now I would like to use a parameter/variable for the user:

USER="bob"
svn log | sed -n '/$USER/,/-----$/ p'

but it just give an empty log. How do I pass a parameter to the above command?

    Use single quotes:

    USER="bob"
    svn log | sed -n '/'$USER'/,/-----$/ p'
