I strongly advise that you hide these filenames from Shell and avoid trying to put them into Shell environment variables. Try to work with external commands only.
Use unix "find" to generate a list of filenames into a file.
Then create a "sed" file containing your "sed" commands. Because Shell will not see them we only need to escape characters where "sed" requires it (which it will with some of these filenames!).
Run with the outline syntax:
Throughout this exercise we must avoid Shell seeing the filenames.
