Its been awhile since I used sed, and I can not figure out to read
and write to the same file. Since you are doing this with a backup of
the files, correct? Here is a way to make it work
mkdir newfiles
for file in `ls .`; do
sed -e 's|../../Templates/||g' <$file >newfiles/$file
echo ------------------------------------------------
done
The edited files will be in "newfiles/"
Note: I used | instead of / for the delimiter, sed can use different
delimiters as long as you are consistent in the script.

Subject: [WISPA] Linux command question
Would the following command remove ../../Templates/ from all files
in the /home/devicsil/public_html/Templates directory?
for file in ls /home/devicsil/public_html/Templates ; do
sed -e 's/..\/..\/Templates\///g' "$file"
echo ----------------------------------------------------------------
done
