The problem is caused by the expected behaviour of the $(cat) construct
being fed into a for loop. It will use the current word separator to
split the text file into separate single-word lines for each word, which
is what lots of people want, but not what you expect in your situation.
Instead, use the read command like:
while read i
do
echo $i
done <certificates.txt
or:
cat certificates.txt | while read i
do
echo $i
done
and I think you will then see what you expect.
