I got it to work with [[ ]] on the $j > $i if statement.
Not sure I'd use this approach to the problem, but it seems to wok.
Two things to note. It won't work (or will give errors) if you have directories in the test_remove directory; and i and j are expanded in the beginning to the file list so you will try to delete each file twice (which is why I put 2> /dev/null on the rm commands)
I have a process run weekly where I must convert data formats for about thirty files. I read a text file that provides all of the filenames and switch settings.
My perl code is:
for ($j = 1; $j <= $k; $j++)

do other stuff
}
