What you have outlined above should work. The fact that it doesn't work indicates the problem is with the parts of the code you didn't post. So without additional detail, it is impossible to identify the issue. However, it might be worth pointing out the For loop isn't needed. Instead you could structure things as follows:
parameterReadFunction[filename_String]:= ...
caluculationFunction[parameters...]:= ...
calculationFuction[paramterReadFunction@#]&/@FileNames["para*.txt"]
One of the advantages of structuring the code this way is it makes it easier to debug.
