Solution is simple: don't use ls for the for loops you're doing. I just tested it on my system, the colored files and directories give "No such file or directory", which makes sense, as the variable contains ascii chars for color information. I would suggest using globbing, why would you use for i in $(ls); while you can use for i in *;
