Bash script - $(ls expr) return double file name with one finishing with '.'

Hello.

This small part of my script

Code:

#!/bin/bash
SRCDIR=/root/.kde4/share/config
for MY_FILE in  $(ls $SRCDIR/kate*) ; do
    echo "$MY_FILE"
done

give :

Quote:

/root/.kde4/share/config/katepartpluginsrc
/root/.kde4/share/config/katepartpluginsrc.
/root/.kde4/share/config/katepartscriptrc
/root/.kde4/share/config/katepartscriptrc.
/root/.kde4/share/config/katerc
/root/.kde4/share/config/katerc.
/root/.kde4/share/config/kateschemarc
/root/.kde4/share/config/kateschemarc.
/root/.kde4/share/config/katesyntaxhighlightingrc
/root/.kde4/share/config/katesyntaxhighlightingrc.

So for the moment I have modified my script like this :

Code:

#!/bin/bash
SRCDIR=/root/.kde4/share/config
for MY_FILE in  $(ls $SRCDIR/kate*) ; do
    if [[ "$MY_FILE" == $SRCDIR/kate* ]] ; then
        if [[ "$MY_FILE" == $SRCDIR/kate*. ]] ; then
            echo .
        else
            echo "Keep this : $MY_FILE"
        fi
    fi
done

which give

Quote:

Keep this : /root/.kde4/share/config/katepartpluginsrc
.
Keep this : /root/.kde4/share/config/katepartscriptrc
.
Keep this : /root/.kde4/share/config/katerc
.
Keep this : /root/.kde4/share/config/kateschemarc
.
Keep this : /root/.kde4/share/config/katesyntaxhighlightingrc
.

But there is surely a best method.
