Sed Help 1

[inunix]

This is my requirement.
I need to replace all files with specific patterns.
the list of patterns will be specified in a file like this
(string to replace and string to replace with)

<p>Global</p> <p>local</p>
<p>fail</p> <p>success</p>

I've used a shell script to do this. Read a file,
and using sed I've tried to replace. But I'm getting an error like
sed: command garbled: s/&quot;<p>Global</p>&quot;/&quot;<p>local</p>&quot;/g

my shell is
for i in `ls *`
do
while read xx yy
do
sed 's/&quot;'$xx'&quot;/&quot;'$yy'&quot;/g $i >tmp/$i
done < patternfile

Please help.
