Doh... that should be

#!/bin/bash
for VARIABLE in "*"
do
	echo VARIABLE
done

The "" around the wildcard ensure filenames with spaces get grabbed as 
well...

Also, "*" won't give you any files which start with ".", so you'd have 
to do a separate check for those:

#!/bin/bash
for DOTFILES in ".*"
do
	echo $DOTFILES
done
