I need to parameterize the file names

---------- Post updated at 01:32 PM ---------- Previous update was at 08:42 AM ----------

I wrote this script:

Please provide some suggestions on this, i havent tested this. Output should be something which indicates the all files are proper. but not sure whether it works.

I am passing 4 file names in the command as arguements.
Code:
#!/bin/bash


Result=0
for f in $1 .. $4

do 

HValue=`cut -b 1 < $f | head -1`
TValue=`cut -b 1 < $f | tail -1`

if ["$HValue"=A] != ["$TValue" = Z]

then 
    echo $f doesnot have Header/Footer properly >>file.txt
    Result=$Result+1
else
    echo $Result
 
fi

done
echo $Result
