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

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

I believe the shell script calls to echo out the files. However, .cav IS NOT a valid file format, so it doesn't get called??? Anyone who knows for real, please chime in.

It is about the wildcard * which means that all files that end with ".txt" are valid, will show in the output the full file name.
