Question

A directory contains the following files:What would be the output of the following shell script?for file in *. txt.

Examice · Accepted Answer

The provided shell script uses a for loop to iterate over all files in the directory that match the pattern "*.txt". In the directory, there are two files that match this pattern: a.txt and b.txt. The script will print the name of each matching file on a new line. Therefore, the output will include both "a.txt" and "b.txt". The correct answer, reflecting both file names with the correct formatting, is option E.

i think it's A because * is a meta-character, so the "for" will search for every pattern that ends with .txt

I tested the script myself. If there were no files named that way it iterates through the literal string *.txt and prints each character.
