How can the following be changed example so that it does glob expansion after loop variable substitution?
for i in a b c
do echo $i/*.txt
done
UPDATE: This normally does work, however set -f had been done earlier in the script I'm looking at.
If you're writing bash code, judicious use of "set -f" to turn off globbing, and "set +f" to turn globbing on might do what you want:
#!/bin/bash
for i in a b c
do
set -f
Z=$i/*.txt
echo $Z
set +f
echo
echo "Does it expand?"
echo $Z
done
