What Dennis said.  Your i isn't a loop counter, it's a list iterator that gets assigned at the 
beginning of each pass.  Compare to:

for i in foo bar baz

I think in PHP there's an indexer that you can tweak on arrays but I don't think so in shell.

But even on Dennis's form (or Jed's while loop, which is essentially the same) I wonder whether 
in-loop mods are a good idea.  Remember what Kernighan said about debugging being harder than coding...
