Is there a critical difference between #! /bin/bash and #!/bin/bash? I have read many tutorials using the former - it works in peace. Now here the latter indicated how the correct syntax.

In this particular case you can do for i; do ...; done to iterate over $@. Also, this wasn't asked, but if you need to pass a couple of arrays, you probably want to pass by reference.

among the variants, there's copyFiles() { ... } without a function keyword. Added benefit : also valid in POSIX (unix.stackexchange.com/questions/73750/…)

Valid variants are copyFiles {…} and copyFiles(){…} and copyFiles() {…}, but not copyFiles{…}. Note the space in the variant without ()
