How to perform a for-each loop over all the files under a specified path?

by

Here is a better way to loop over files as it handles spaces and newlines in file names:

#!/bin/bash

find . -type f -iname "*.txt" -print0 | while IFS= read -r -d $'\0' line; do
    echo "$line"
    ls -l "$line"    
done
