If you get the problem that Gilbeg got "find: /V': No such file or directory" then it's most likely you have cygwin, or similar, in your path and the batch file's not using the Windows find command. If you modify your script to use the absolute path of the Windows find then the error will go away:

FOR /f "delims=" %%A in ('dir /b "my_dir\*.csv" ^| %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\find.exe /V "summary"') do (
rem want to do something here with %%A
)
