Full Discussion: Expand Variables and Wildcards into another variable.
Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Expand Variables and Wildcards into another variable. Post 303035165 by MadeInGermany on Wednesday 15th of May 2019 02:32:39 PM

You see the difference with
Code:
echo "$file_path"

The quotes prevent the shell to do word-splitting on command arguments.

ls is an external command. The efficient per-line formatter is printf "%s\n" that 1. is a shell-builtin and 2. does no extra I/O.

What do you want to do with the $file_path?
It can make sense to not expand it too early. For example
Code:
file_path="${output_dir}/*MIGRATE*${city_name}*.out"
for f in $file_path

is smarter than
Code:
file_path=`ls ${output_dir}/*MIGRATE*${city_name}*.out`
for f in $file_path
