You can either do this:
Code:
cd "$INPUT_FILE_FOLDER"
for file in $SEARCH_MASK_INPUT_FILE; do
  echo $file
done

Code:
for file in "$INPUT_FILE_FOLDER/"$SEARCH_MASK_INPUT_FILE; do
  echo ${file##*/}
done

BTW do not put double quotes around the pattern

apt-config

APT-CONFIG(8)								APT							     APT-CONFIG(8)

NAME

       apt-config - APT Configuration Query program

SYNOPSIS

       apt-config [-hv] [-o=config string] [-c=file] {[shell] | [dump]}

DESCRIPTION

       apt-config is an internal program used by various portions of the APT suite to provide consistent configurability. It accesses the main
       configuration file /etc/apt/apt.conf in a manner that is easy to use by scripted applications.

       Unless the -h, or --help option is given one of the commands below must be present.

       shell
	   shell is used to access the configuration information from a shell script. It is given pairs of arguments, the first being a shell
	   variable and the second the configuration value to query. As output it lists a series of shell assignments commands for each present
	   value. In a shell script it should be used like:

	       OPTS="-f"
	       RES=`apt-config shell OPTS MyApp::options`
	       eval $RES
	   This will set the shell environment variable $OPTS to the value of MyApp::options with a default of -f.

	   The configuration item may be postfixed with a /[fdbi]. f returns file names, d returns directories, b returns true or false and i
	   returns an integer. Each of the returns is normalized and verified internally.

       dump
	   Just show the contents of the configuration space.

OPTIONS

       All command line options may be set using the configuration file, the descriptions indicate the configuration option to set. For boolean
       options you can override the config file by using something like -f-,--no-f, -f=no or several other variations.

       -h, --help
	   Show a short usage summary.

       -v, --version
	   Show the program version.

       -c, --config-file
	   Configuration File; Specify a configuration file to use. The program will read the default configuration file and then this
	   configuration file. If configuration settings need to be set before the default configuration files are parsed specify a file with the
	   APT_CONFIG environment variable. See apt.conf(5) for syntax information.

       -o, --option
	   Set a Configuration Option; This will set an arbitrary configuration option. The syntax is -o Foo::Bar=bar.	-o and --option can be
	   used multiple times to set different options.

SEE ALSO

       apt.conf(5)

DIAGNOSTICS

       apt-config returns zero on normal operation, decimal 100 on error.
