bash script read all the files in directory

Question

How do I loop through a directory? I know there is for f in /var/files;do echo $f;done; The problem with that is it will spit out all the files inside the directory

Answer 1

You can go without the loop:

find /path/to/dir -type f -exec /your/first/command \{\} \; -exec /your/second/command \{\} \;
