I am not quite there yet. I'd sometimes need something like:

for f in `ls` { echo $f }

So what would be the equivalent to bash:

for f in `ls`; do echo $f; done

or

for f in $(ls); do echo $f; done

?

Or is this one of the things eshell can't do? I sometimes use
something like this to rename all files in a directory or all files
with a specific extension or things like that. How would I do this in
eshell from the command line?
