Untitleds-MacBook-Pro:Dict Nexeu$

Maybe I could just use this command to replace first ' at 'filename.txt' with mv /Users/Nexeu/Documents/Dict/. That will replace all first ' expect first line of the file-content.

Code:
sed -i 's/txt\'/n\'/mv \/Users\/Nexeu\/Documents\/Dict\//g' 0H
sed -i 's/txt\'/n\'/mv \/Users\/Nexeu\/Documents\/Dict\//g' 1H
sed -i 's/txt\'/n\'/mv \/Users\/Nexeu\/Documents\/Dict\//g' 2H
sed -i 's/txt\'/n\'/mv \/Users\/Nexeu\/Documents\/Dict\//g' 3H
sed -i 's/txt\'/n\'/mv \/Users\/Nexeu\/Documents\/Dict\//g' 4H
sed -i 's/txt\'/n\'/mv \/Users\/Nexeu\/Documents\/Dict\//g' 5H
sed -i 's/txt\'/n\'/mv \/Users\/Nexeu\/Documents\/Dict\//g' 6H
sed -i 's/txt\'/n\'/mv \/Users\/Nexeu\/Documents\/Dict\//g' 7H
sed -i 's/txt\'/n\'/mv \/Users\/Nexeu\/Documents\/Dict\//g' 8H
sed -i 's/txt\'/n\'/mv \/Users\/Nexeu\/Documents\/Dict\//g' 9H
sed -i 's/txt\'/n\'/mv \/Users\/Nexeu\/Documents\/Dict\//g' 10H
....

Then I will replace the ' from .txt' with respective folder directory so it will go where it should and execute it.
