Bug Find text containing paths and replace with a string in all the python files
I have 100+ python files in a single directory. I need to replace a specific path occurrence with a variable name.

Following are the find and the replace strings:

Findstring--"projects\\Debugger\\debugger_dp8051_01\\debugger_dp8051_01.cywrk"

Replacestring--self.projpath

I tried following without success

for y in *;
do sed "s/\"projects\\Debugger\\debugger_dp8051_01\\debugger_dp8051_01.cywrk\"/self.projpath/g" $y > temp;
mv temp $y;
done

Can someone please help me with the correct solution?
