It's interesting that so far most of the reponses have been addressing the syntax of the "for" loop rather than the question of whether or not you actually need a "for" loop. If the OPs code actually looks something like this: for i in [Dd][Oo]*.pdf do cat "$i" done I wonder if the OP will be happy in the long run to know he really nailed that for loop syntax rather than learning he didn't need a loop in the first place :-).

I do agree, that I didn't think of that before. A loop would be needed if u were going to work on those files (e.g. add a # copyright by ... line to the end of the files). Cat will "caternate" everything that matches your Wildcard-pattern anyways.
