    Is the special character in particular a problem? Do you know how you'd do that if it wasn't there? – ilkkachu Jan 28 '21 at 17:18

You need to escape the special character. I take the assumption that the string is in the file yourfile

sed -i 's@keystore="\.@keystore="\./@' yourfile

More details about sed special character can be found here What characters do I need to escape when using sed in a sh script?
