Code:

SEARCH_DIR="/filesinfolder";
PATH_COUNT=0
 
for result in "'/usr/bin/find  $SEARCH_DIR  -daystart \( \( -name 'KI*' -a -name '*.csv' \) -o  -name '*_xyz_*' \)  -mtime 1'"
 
do
  PATH_RESULTS[$PATH_COUNT]="$result"

If you are using Kshell, something like this might work for you:

Code:

find . -name "*.cvs" | while read filename
do
     # code to manipulate filename
done
