Iterate all files in a directory (including files that start with '.' - hidden files) in linux/android

Question

I want to iterate through all files in a specified directory including hidden files in a script

i tried something like this:

for f in /home/pedja/test/*; do

Which shows only visible files (files that don't start with .)
If i do this:

for f in /home/pedja/test/.*; do

It shows only hidden files (files that starts with .)

How can i list all files in a single for loop

Answer 1

This form runs it on a subshell but that's the safest you can have when your shell does not support process substitution.

find /home/pedja/test/ -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -name '.*' | while read -r file; do
    ...
done

Answer 2

           IFS=$'\n'; for f in $(ls -a);do echo "$f"; done

Answer 3

use brace expansion:

for f in /home/pedja/test/{,.}*; do echo "$f"; done

Answer 4

Try this:

for f in `find /home/pedja/test -maxdepth 1`; do
