Actually, I think this is the problem:

Code:
if [ "$i" = *02.DAT ]; then

*02.DAT does not do what you think it does here. If there's any filenames in the current folder matching it, it expands into a list of those names.

I believe you intended this:

Code:
if [[ "$i" == *02.DAT ]] ; then

double-equal in double brackets wildcards against $i instead of the current directory.

By default the bug report is mailed to both the GNU developers and the Debian Bash maintainers. The recipients can be changed by giving a comma separated list of bug-report-email-addresses. If you invoke bashbug by accident, just quit your editor. You will always be asked for confirmation before a bug report is sent. OPTIONS
