Change last character in line with sed

I have the following line in my .conf file

application.release = "4"

I'm trying change it to application.release = "4.$any_value" with sed

Current pattern: 

sed -c -i "s/\(application.release *= *\).*/\1\"$any_value\"/"

Could help me anybody?

This might work for you (GNU sed):

sed -i '/^application.release = "4"$/s/"$/.$any_value"/' file

If a line contains application.release = "4" replace the last character with .$any_value"

Try adding one more backslash:

sed -c -i "s/\(application.release *= *\).*/\1\"\$app_version\"/"
