for i in *; do ...; done works even better as it can handle files with whitespace. I usually disable file globbing but enable it specifically for code like this. EDIT: Actually, one issue with the above is that if there aren't any matching files then you get a literal "*". But I'd rather deal with that then break when filenames have embedded whitespace.
