done

I named it 'script.sh'

and this is what I did:
chmod +x script.sh
./script.sh

this what I got:

'/script.sh: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `do
done' '{ gsub(/\./,"N"); print }' ${FILE} > /Users/mydir/${FILE}
Works for me:

Code:
$ cat ./script.sh
#!/bin/bash
#
for FILE in s_7_1_0*_qseq.txt; do
  echo FILE = ${FILE}
  ls -l ${FILE}
  mkdir -p Users/mydir
  awk '{ gsub(/\./,"N"); print }' ${FILE} > Users/mydir/${FILE}
  echo before
  cat ${FILE}
  echo after
  cat Users/mydir/${FILE}
done
$
$ ./script.sh
FILE = s_7_1_00_qseq.txt
