@bakunin, the var// / modifier exists in bash or zsh or ksh93 (and works the same).
But a "wanted output" would clarify things.
I guess you want to delete embedded strings .txt OR .log from the file names.
Unfortunately there is no OR in the variable modifier.
A solution is: one loop for each string. You can consolidate it into a function
And run the function two times
Notes:
In general the mv -- is a good idea if $i starts with a -
but in this case not needed because it starts with ./
The (trailing) ? glob requires one (more) character
The var// / variable modifier is greedy, while the var/ / modifier stops at the first match

Hi,
I'm using a for loop reading from an input file that contains files, whose path includes a variable name.
But the for loop doesn't expand the variable and therefore can't find the file.
Here's an example:
