Whitespace is not a problem as long as one remembers to
double-quote Shell $ubstitutions, like:

Hi,
in some directory it has some files, let's say:
a.txt b.txt c.txt d.txt
I want to run a command, suppose it's
txt2pdf -input a.txt -output a.pdf
what if I want to do like
txt2pdf -input *.txt -output *.txt
I tried in bash,
use
for i in a b c
do
txt2pdf -input i.txt -out i.pdf
done

Yes. Checkout the rename(1) command. It comes from Perl, and can be used

You almost nailed it:
for i in a b c ; do

Instead of listing the files manually, you can use '*' as a wildcard.
But that only works if your filenames don't contain whitespace. A more
