Okay... quick shell programming question here.

In /foo there are several directories/files :

this is one directory
this is another
justafile.txt

I want :

for i in $(ls $(pwd)); do
echo $i
done

To return :

this is one directory
this is another

Instead it returns :

this
is
one
directory
this
is
another
justafile.txt

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

echo "$i"
done
