Have you tried:
while read dir_name
do
echo $dir_name
done < <( ls /boot/* )

Subject: Looping through files
Hello all
I am trying to make a sort-of complicated grub.cfg file where I want to
search a series of files on the disk.
At first I tried something like
for dir_name in /boot/* ; do
echo $dir_name
read
done
But this just printed "/boot/*"
Then I trid
for dir_name in `ls /boot` ; do
echo $dir_name
read
done
But this printed "`ls" and then "/boot`"
Obviously what I want to achieve is more than printing information but for
now I want to get the looping code right.
My question is: Is there any way to assign a list of files/directories to a
variable dynamically and/or use it in a loop like this?
Thanks
Jason
