It's throwing "sed: can't read .BAK: No such file or directory" however it's doing the main job correctly

I have odd issue. After removing space as you suggested entire script stopped working :( what is even more surprising, once i revert to the previous version it doesn't append nor update the ~/.bashrc file. $java_esc echo shows correctly escaped path. Is it possible that it has something to do with BAK file? some file permissions? I separated only your code and java path (checked twice and it doesn't work anymore), any idea? (running as sudo)

OK, that's odd... I just found the answer. The reason was that I was runnig script with sudo. Without sudo it works like a charm and replaces everything... I am leaving second comment in case someone else face the same issue in a future
