saving to all files with sed [solved]

[Urza9814]

I have a shell script here that I'm trying to use, pretty self-explanitory, I just need help getting sed to correctly write to the files.

Here's what I have:

 

echo "Input directory:"
read dir
echo "Input original string:"
read str1
echo "Input final string:"
read str2
cd $dir
sed s/$str1/$str2/ * > *

The problem, of course, is that sed then writes it to a file called '*'. How do I make it write to the file it pulled it from?
