Another variable question, I think

So seems only way I'm going to learn is by asking. In the following and I can tell you that $ENV=384:

Code:
grep $ENV $TSH/ftp/some.files | while read ELABEL EENV EFILE RFILE
  do
    if [[ -n $RFILE ]]; then
      rm -ef ${RFILE}*
    else
      rm -ef ${EFILE}*
    fi
  done

In the some.files :

Code:
bgtest /usr/384 BL.X1
bgtest /usr/384 BL.X2
bgtest /usr/384 BL.X3
bgtest /usr/384 BL.X4
bgtest /usr/384 BL.X5
bgtest /usr/383 BL.X6
bgtest /usr/383 BL.X7


Once again, I know basic scripting if you can call it that Smilie
Whats really throwing me off here is the variables in {}
What is that piece of code trying to do exactly? Well, from the info I've given.

This is a different piece I've noticed that leads back to the {}. I'll see a file name, say:
BKFILE=$FTPDIR/$TDG/${ZFILE}.out
And I'll know the value of $FTPDIR and $TDG, but where is it getting the value for ${ZFILE} when it hasnt been defined previously in the script.
