Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello,
somewhere in a shell script, i am storing the output of "ls" into a variable. My question is how can i parse this variable to get each filepath. I don't want to create a temporary file to write down all the filenames and then parse it..

is there a easy way out..

here is what i am doing

Code:

tempVar=`find {some files according to pattern} | grep "some pattern"`

So tempVar has a list of filepaths, i would like to parse this. May be this is simple, but since i am not so well versed with shell scripting, please help me.

rgds
Prash

Code:

for i in $tempVar 
do
  echo $i
done

in ksh:

Code:

for file in $tempVar ; do

  echo $file

done

... in csh:

Code:

set x='ant bat cat dog'

foreach y ( $x )

  echo $y

end

thank you for the quick reply.. it works. I think this is a very basic question.. sorry
