Question

I have a folder in which there are a few files:

a b.jpg
c d.jpg

basically, I want to list the files and carry out some operations on them, however I failed to do by:

for i in $( ls $folder ); do echo $i; done

each line of output is a part of a file name rather than the entire one:

a
b.jpg
c
d.jpg

How can I avoid this in Bash,

Thanks,

Answer 1

for i in $folder/*; do echo "$i"; done

or:

( cd $folder; for i in *; do echo "$i"; done )
