Reading screen output line by line

basildon · 09-23-2008, 10:42 AM

Hi

I've identified a list of pathnames I would like to manipulate using
find * -type d which displays all of my directories in a list format

Is there away I can read each line sequentially so that I can make some changes to the output?

This should do...

for myvar in $(find * -type d);do echo $myvar ;done

instead of echo use any other operation
