Are you using pseudo-code in this example? Because it is not valid shell (bash) code. Try cut-and-pasting this to a file "loop.sh":

---

#!/bin/bash
for file in $*
do

    root -l -q -b myScript1.C\(\"$file\"\) myScript2.C done

---

You would then run it by giving one or more files on the command line:

shell> ./loop.sh /path/to/data/rootFile_1.root \
                 /path/to/data/rootFile_2.root \
                 /path/to/data/rootFile_3.root \
                 /path/to/data/rootFile_4.root
