advanced patterns when using variable assignment in a Bash for loop
I'm relatively new to this, so bear with me. I'm experiencing unexpected behavior with variable assignment inside a `for` loop in Bash. I have the following script that is supposed to iterate over a list of files and create a new variable based on the filename: ```bash #!/bin/bash for file in /path/to/files/*; do name=$(basename "$file") echo "Processing: $name" modified_name="${name%.txt}_modified.txt" echo "New name: $modified_name" done ``` However, when I run this script, I get the output as expected for the first file, but for subsequent files, the `modified_name` variable seems to continue its value from the previous iteration. For example, if the first file is `file1.txt`, I see: ``` Processing: file1.txt New name: file1_modified.txt Processing: file2.txt New name: file1_modified.txt ``` It looks like `modified_name` is not being reset for each iteration. I've tried moving the `modified_name` assignment to just after the `echo "Processing: $name"` line, but the behavior remains the same. I'm using Bash version 5.1.4 on Ubuntu 20.04. Can anyone explain why this is happening and how I can properly scope the variable to avoid this scenario? What am I doing wrong? This is for a desktop app running on CentOS. Any ideas what could be causing this? My development environment is Linux. Any ideas what could be causing this?
