Bash if statement

The Bash if statement is a bit funny. Say for every files-i.txt, there should be a files-i.dat.
This example can be used to filter out files that dont have the corresponding .dat file present.

for i in files-*txt
do
    if [ ! -e ${i/txt/dat} ]
    then
         echo $i
    fi
done

Note the spaces after and before the opening and closing hard bracket. Also note that "then" is on its own line.
