hi, please can someone help me with the for command. let's take a really stupid but simple example where i wish to cat all the files in a directory. note that i don't ever do this this is just an example of where the for command doesn't work for me: for i in *.txt; cat "checked this file" >>i; done in such an example i get a file called i that contains the same line lots of times. under dos the following would work: for %1 in (*.txt) do type "checked this file" >>%1 so any tips where i'm going wrong under linux? thanks, saqib
