Help with Permission Denied on script with sed
I am trying to develop a script to replace a lowercase URLs with an upper case URLs in HTM files.

Basically.. replace href="somelowercaseurl" with href="SOMEUPPERCASEURL". In place.

the href's are not located in any specific position in the file.

Here is my shell script :

Code:
export PATH=$PATH
if [ $# -eq 0 ];
then
 echo "Syntax: hreftoupper [Dir needed.. In upper case]"
 exit 1
fi
for f in ./$1/*.HTM
do
echo "processing $f"
sed -ir `s/href=\"[^\"]*\"/\U\1/g` `$f`
done
echo "done"

..

I am getting permission denied on the HTML file. From the prompt I can VI the file though so I know I have permission. I assume something is wrong with the script above.. any help would be appreciated.
