if you want to do this on everyfile in a particular directory
store directories in variable

Code:
DIR="/usr/xxx/
...
..."
for d in $DIR
cd "$d"
for file in *
do
   sed "s/^#.*\$\(.*\)\$.*$/\1/" $file
done


or if you want to do on particular files then store files with path name in a variable
Code:
path="/usr/xxx/1.txt
...
..."
for file in $path
do
   sed "s/^#.*\$\(.*\)\$.*$/\1/" $file
done
