Move same files and issue ls -al command on remaining files
I know I can use an ls -l junk1 command to get a listing of all files in the directory junk1, but I was wondering how I'd go about going through the files in junk1 in a for-in loop and issuing the ls -l command on them one by one.

This is what I have so far:
Code:
for file in $(ls -a $1)
do
   ls -l  $1/$file
done

Unfortunately when I run listfile junk1

I get a listing of ALL my files when I only want a listing of the files in junk1

dh_installlisting

DH_INSTALLLISTING(1)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				      DH_INSTALLLISTING(1)

NAME

       dh_installlisting - install .listing files to be used by desktop-profiles package

SYNOPSIS

       dh_installlisting [debhelper options] [filename(s)]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_installlisting is a debhelper program that handles installing listing files used by the desktop-profiles package into the correct
       location in package builddirectories (NOTE: this command is provided by the desktop-profiles package, so don't forget to build-depends on
       it). It also updates the cache of profile assignments (when it exists) to reflect the added metadata.

       If a file named debian/package.listing exists (or debian/listing in case of the main package) it is installed in etc/desktop-profiles. In
       addition any files given as argument will be installed in etc/desktop-profiles as package_file.listing. The format of .listing files is
       described in desktop-profiles(7).

       A dependancy on desktop-profiles will be added to misc:Depends by using this script.
