Apply command to all files in folder

Hi all!
I have this command
Code:
grep -E '^\To: |^\Date: |^\Subject: ' fileA.txt > fileA_1.txt && grep -v '^\To: |^\Date: |^\Subject: ' fileA.txt >> fileA_1.txt && rm fileA.txt && sed -i -e 's/\(Date: \|Subject: \|To: \)//g' fileA_1.txt

How do I apply it to all the files in the folder (each file has a different name, one is fileA.txt, but the rest of the files are different (another one is "175.txt", another one is "published3.txt"...)

In the end I should get fileA_1.txt, 175_1.txt, published3_1.txt ...
Thanks

*I am on Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
