It looks like bakunin was missing a double quote (shown in red on the 2nd line in the script below), but a space between the test argument and the closing square bracket is crucial. Try:
Code:
ls | while read FILE ; do
     if [ -f "$FILE" ] ; then     # only process files (i.e. not subduers)
          command1 "$FILE"
          command2 "$FILE"
     fi
     [....]
done
