  • Also, I am not sure you can automatically expect the output of the find command to be assigned to the file variable. I would output the find command to a temp file, and then grab the filenames one by one from the file and then put that in a do/done loop. Eg:

    find ./ -type f \( -iname \*.jpg -o -iname \*.png \) > yourtempfile.tmp    
    for file in `cat yourtempfile.tmp`     
    do     
        echo "in loop"    
        echo "$file"    
    ....     
    done
    

    Here are some results I got when it ran:

    in loop
    ./Figs_XSR900.JPG
    ‘.’/‘Figs_XSR900.JPG’
