SED on multiple files

Hello all,

Search & replace works fine using sed on a single file.

Ex:
sed -i 's/day/night/g' test1.sh

There are many *.sh files in my current directory that I would like use sed on. I tried running the sed command using wild card but it did not work.

sed -i 's/day/night/g' *.sh

Any ideas?

Thanks.
