Useful Tools/Tips

Your script may need to loop through some files. Bash has a for loop that you can use to do this

$ for file in *.txt
do
    echo "Filename: ${file}"
done

This will print all files ending with .txt to the terminal. The syntax is for <varname> in <list of items separated by space>. You can use for loops in scripts and directly in the shell.
