Note that the two commands:
Code:
find/home/bharat -type f -name '*.RET' -exec  echo "File name=" {} \;

and:
Code:
for file in /home/bharat/*.RET
do
  if [ -f "$file" ]; then
    echo "File Name= $file"
  fi
done

produce the same results only if there are no regular files in any directories under /home/bharat with names ending in .RET.

The find command will list files in subdirectories, the for loop will not list files in subdirectories.
