There has been a number of old threads on this but non looked like
they worked

I have a shell env varible and a file that has a generic name. The
resolved shell var needs to be substituted in that spot:

setenv FILENAME /path/to/myfile.txt

the file has some text:

I need to subtitue FILENAME

end result:

I need to subtitue path/to/myfile.txt

Thanks

sed "s#FILENAME#$FILENAME#" file

awk '{sub("FILENAME",f);print}' f=$FILENAME file
