如何在bash中一一读取ls命令列出的文件？

Question

I want to read all the files in a particular directory, and I want to read it one by one.

Here's what i've done so far. ls successfully get all the files from a specified directory, but could not give the file names to me one by one. It Echos the files one time only. I want to get it one by one because I need to do some parsing and use it somehwere.

#!/bin/sh

echo Content-type: application/json
echo ""

for output in "ls /home/myComputer/Desktop/*";
do
echo $output
done

Answer 1

You can do

for output in /home/myComputer/Desktop/*
do
    echo $output
done

If there's any risk that /home/myComputer/Desktop is empty, please follow @JIDs advice in the comments below.

Answer 2

The next solution also works when the dir is empty.

ls /home/myComputer/Desktop/ 2>/dev/null |while read -r output; do
    echo ${output}
done

This construction is nice to know, for when you want to split the input lines in some fields:

cat someFile | while read -r field1 field2 remainingfields; do
