echo "Which directory \c"
read directory
tmpfile=/tmp/tmpfile.$$

for file in loaderconfiguration*.xml
do
  sed "s|${directory}|$inName|g" $file > $tmpfile
  mv $tmpfile $file
done

BEFORE you run this - where is the variable inName defined in your code? As is, it is null.
It needs to be set to something, somewhere, before the for loop.
