find specific file names and execute a command depending on file's name

Hi,

As a newbie, I'm desperate ro make my shell script work. I'd like a script which checks all the files in a directory, check the file name, if the file name ends with "extracted", store it in a variable, if it has a suffix of ".roi" stores in another variable. I'm going to use these two variables in a new command that needs them. So I came up with:
Code:
e#!/bin/bash

for file in path/*
if [$file == *_extracted]
then
extracted_file =$file
else
if [$file== *.roi]
then 
roi_file=$file
fi
fi

done;

what am doing wrong? Any input is gratefully appreciated

NAME
lr_environment - Export Lire configuration in shell script form SYNOPSIS
eval `lr_environment` DESCRIPTION
The lr_environment command is used to import the Lire configuration in Lire shell scripts. All of Lire configuration variables will be written in a format that can be evaled by the shell. Shell scripts don't usually have to use that command, since it is done by the defaults file sourced by each command. The old names used by when the configuration was done in shell script are also exported by this script for backward compatibility. AUTHOR
