Foreach .gz file in a directory -- Not working

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Hi,

I am trying to add for loop in my code for all the .gz files in a directory.

example code:

for i in $PWD/input/*.dz
do
     echo " file is :: $i "
done

This is not working as expectation and the output is :

 file is :: /home/IB/input/*.dz

However, for i in $PWD/input/* is working fine. But this is not the requirement.
Please suggest

it will work.

Why you are using $PWD/input/*.dz

$PWD/input/*.dz

instead of

$PWD/input/*.gz

that is typing mistake. I am using .gz

What do you have in the variable PWD .
if echo $PWD gives you /home/IB
and still the code is not working, try below

for i in $(ls $PWD/input/*.gz)
do
  echo "file is :: ${i}"
done

That is a useless use of ls *. If it works at all, it will work without the ls!

for i in $PWD/input/*.gz
do
  echo "file is :: ${i}"
done

Whenever a statement like that echoes "file is :: path/to/input/*.gz", that means, no files matched your expression, so doublecheck that you're looking where you think you are.

Exactly!!!
It is working for me

for i in $PWD/input/*.gz
do
echo " file is :: $i "
done

Make sure your present working directory contains directory

input

in otherway make sure you are running script one directory back from

input

directory
