What is wrong about this code? The if condtion should be correct https://www.educba.com/if-condition-in-shell-script/

for file in *; do
    if [$file -ne someFilename]; then
        echo $file
    fi
done

You can run your code through [Shell Check](https://www.shellcheck.net/) to catch syntax errors. – John Kugelman Aug 03 '21 at 12:01
Exactly what happened when you tried to run the code? How is that different from what you wanted to happen? – Karl Knechtel Aug 03 '21 at 12:02
I want the code to print all filenames to shell except one. Afterwards I want to move them to that one I omit. I am just testing it with echo. – neolith Aug 03 '21 at 12:05
Ah I need to use != instead of -ne – neolith Aug 03 '21 at 12:09
