.sh for loop

[Samuel Martín Moro]

it seems to work

your main error is to use ${found_name} instead of ${name}.
also, you do not set ${group} in your example.
and, not essential, but test -z before adding useless spaces.
correcting that, I had it working perfectly.

h2g2:~# cat test
path=/dev
group=tty
for name in "${path}/${group}"*
do
    [ -z "${found_list}" ] && found_list="${name}" ||
found_list="${found_list} ${name}"
done
echo "found list: $found_list"
h2g2:~# sh test
found list: /dev/ttyU0 /dev/ttyU0.init /dev/ttyU0.lock /dev/ttyd0
/dev/ttyd0.init /dev/ttyd0.lock /dev/ttyp0 /dev/ttyp1 /dev/ttyp2 /dev/ttyp3
/dev/ttyp4 /dev/ttyp5 /dev/ttyp6 /dev/ttyp7 /dev/ttyv0 /dev/ttyv1 /dev/ttyv2
/dev/ttyv3 /dev/ttyv4 /dev/ttyv5 /dev/ttyv6 /dev/ttyv7 /dev/ttyv8 /dev/ttyv9
