Iterating over each line of ls -l output

Question

I want to iterate over each line in the output of: ls -l /some/dir/*

Right now I\'m trying: for x in $(ls -l $1); do echo $x; done

You can also try the find command. If you only want files in the current directory:

find . -d 1 -prune -ls

Run a command on each of them?

find . -d 1 -prune -exec echo {} \;

Count lines, but only in files?

find . -d 1 -prune -type f -exec wc -l {} \;
