Re: [tlug] Batch conversion of a bunch of Illustrator files to SVG files: fun with filenames with embedded blanks

Learn how to explore that question yourself. 
Put an echo in front of the ultimate 
command to see what would be executed, but without executing it. 
That is, replace the following command in your script: 

>     uniconverter input ${i} output ${i%.ai}.svg

with: 

   echo uniconverter input ${i} output ${i%.ai}.svg

For extra fun, explore what happens when filenames have blanks 
in them. That is, do the following: 

   touch 'foo.svg output bar.ai'

then re-run your exploration script (with the echo command).
