SED replace a word inside a bracket – CentOS

I need to change some words in bulk, but because of the brackets inside it, I think I do something wrong.

Line that needs to be changed

echo "CMD_PLUGINS_ADMIN/admin/index.html";

I need to change it to this:

echo "CMD_PLUGINS_ADMIN/reseller/index.html";

I tried it with: sed -ie 's/admin/reseller/' *

But does not change anything, I hope someone knows the right command for it.

    your input has slash and you are using slash as sed seperator
    Either escape the slashes in input by preceeding them with backslash:

    echo '"CMD_PLUGINS_ADMIN/admin/index.html";' | sed 's//admin///reseller//g'
"CMD_PLUGINS_ADMIN/reseller/index.html";

    OR change seperator to any other like pipe:

    echo '"CMD_PLUGINS_ADMIN/admin/index.html";' | sed 's|admin|reseller|g'
"CMD_PLUGINS_ADMIN/reseller/index.html";
