I have the following function to recursively find files, yet it does not work when there are spaces in the file names. What am I doing wrong here?

for f in "$(find "$1" -type f -name '*.*')"
do
  echo "Processing $f file..."
done

You have to tweak the IFS variable, as space is taken as a separator by default.
