I'd recommend keeping the "ls". Try your script when MAGDIR doesn't
have any zipfiles, and MAGFILE will hold the expanded value of $MAGDIR
with the string "*.[Zz][Ii][Pp]" appended. Bash, sh, and ksh all do
that for some dopey reason, which is why I would do
for file in $(ls $MAGDIR/*.[Zz][Ii][Pp] 2> /dev/null); do ...
if there's any chance that you won't find any files.
Now that's an odd one! Didn't know that.
One might be better of with some like this:
find /DIR -regextype posix-egrep -regex '.*\.(zip|ZIP)' -exec
some_command {} +
Best regards
