Loop through files in a given directory [duplicate]

Answer 1

You can write this script

 #!/bin/bash

clear
echo "enter the directory path: \n"
read directory
for file in $directory/*; do
    echo $file
done

Answer 2

Try

dir="${GOL_HOME}/test_dir"
file="file_*.csv"
for file in `cd ${dir};ls -1 ${file}` ;do
   echo $file
done 

Answer 3

If you only want the files non-recursively in the current directory, combine what you have:

read -p 'Enter the directory path: ' directory
for file in "$directory"/*; do
  echo "$file"
done

If you want to loop recursively and you have bash 4, it's not much harder:

shopt -s globstar
for file in "$directory"/**/*; do …

But if you only have bash 3, you'd be better off using find.

find "$directory"
