Archive: CommonPaymentServices_1.ear

inflating: TIBCO.xml
inflating: Process Archive.par

the ear file contains the above files...

after that i dint get the prompt symbal. I need to use control+C then come out form the script.

And also I need to do this for more than two files. and i have already explained in my previous reply...

That's a really inefficient and error-prone way to do pathname expansion (file glob). Aside from having to create a pipeline, any whitespace will break the code (in which case $NF will contain only a portion of the filename). Just use the shell's standard features to do that, quote "$i" every time you use it, and you'll be iterating through matching filenames in a safe manner.

Code:
for i in *.ear; do
    # Whatever processing needs to be done on "$i"
done
