Question Help Dynamic looping based on files

Hi I have to run the script (a part of the code) in a loop for the no of times the files present in the directory, by taking one file and process and next another file.

For example, if we do ls and the result have:

Code:
$ls
abc.dat   def.dat   ghi.dat

The script code should loop for 3 times by taking abc.dat and process and next def.dat and then ghi.dat for processing.

Like this if we have 10 files, it should loop 10 times.

PS: Here the file names will change time to time, but the extensions are same (.dat).

NAME
break - Abort looping command SYNOPSIS
break _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
This command is typically invoked inside the body of a looping command such as for or foreach or while. It returns a TCL_BREAK code, which causes a break exception to occur. The exception causes the current script to be aborted out to the innermost containing loop command, which then aborts its execution and returns normally. Break exceptions are also handled in a few other situations, such as the catch com- mand, Tk event bindings, and the outermost scripts of procedure bodies. EXAMPLE
Print a line for each of the integers from 0 to 5: for {set x 0} {$x<10} {incr x} { if {$x > 5} { break } puts "x is $x" } SEE ALSO
catch(3tcl), continue(3tcl), for(3tcl), foreach(3tcl), return(3tcl), while(3tcl) KEYWORDS
