Answer 1

With Bash 4, you can also use the builtin mapfile function to set an array containing each line and iterate on this array:

$ tree
.
├── a
│   ├── a 1
│   └── a 2
├── b
│   ├── b 1
│   └── b 2
└── c
    ├── c 1
    └── c 2

3 directories, 6 files
$ mapfile -t files < <(find -type f)
$ for file in "${files[@]}"; do
> echo "file: $file"
> done
file: ./a/a 2
file: ./a/a 1
file: ./b/b 2
file: ./b/b 1
file: ./c/c 2
file: ./c/c 1
