I'm trying to write a bash script that will recurse through a directory, find Word files, then run antiword on them. Unfortunately, I'm stuck on the first stage, which is to get it to recognise a directory. I'd thought this would work

for i in *
do
if [-d $i]; then
cd $i

and so on, but the third line obviously has the wrong syntax, as I get "[!: command not found". Any ideas?
