Find and Replace in multiple files (Shell script)

same job but differenet issue
I used the same script
for y in `ls *`;
do sed "s/ABCD/DCBA/g" $y > temp; mv temp $y;
done
and it worked fine for finding and replacing strings in all files of the given path.
I'm trying to replace a sting which consists of path
say instead of ABCD i have to replace c:/mydocuments/pictures to
d:/mypics/personal , as metacharacters wont be searched in unix this script is failing to replace the sting which has a path in it.
i tired giving the path in single quotes and double quotes, but i see error
sed : garbled and all the contents of the files are erased
.
Is there any other way to work this out.
Thanks

SIMPLIFY(1) General Commands Manual SIMPLIFY(1) NAME
simplify - a script to simplify a MIME message SYNOPSIS
simplify [args ...] < message > othermessage DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the simplify command. simplify is a Perl script to simplify a MIME message. This script never loads the entire message into memory, but does dump it's entire contents to disk once. OPTIONS
mime=no Don't use MIME, no HTML mail allowed. testing=yes Run in testing mode (suppress randonmess) saveall=yes Save all attachments to files. temp=/path/to/working/dir/ Defaults to /tmp. url=http://box/path/ URL-prefix for printing paths to attachments header=text... Text preceding the attachment URL list. textsig=/path/to/file Text signature to append to text parts. htmlsig=/path/to/file HTML signature to append to HTML parts. If "saveall" is yes, then the script will save all attachments to disk so people can access their contents later. If an URL is specified then that automatically implies "saveall=yes". Without this, the default behavior is to only save text and html parts, and delete them and all working directories when the script is finished. SEE ALSO
