To receive for processing of a cycle files on a mask from the folder sorted by date?

Question

bash

How can I get the files in a folder by mask, sorted by date (newest on top) and loop through them?
I am trying to do something like this:

$LS="ls -t | grep database"
for li in $LS
do
echo $li
done

but it does not work with the syntax that messed up.

Answer 1

$LS="ls -t | grep database"
for li in $LS
do
echo $li
done

the first
variable is incorrectly specified when assigning a value to it:
$LS=...
it will be correct: the
LS=...
second here you assign a string to the LS variable, and you need the result of the execution as a result, it should turn out something like this:
LS="ls -t | grep database"
LS="$(ls -t | grep database)"

LS="$(ls -t | grep database)"
for li in $LS
do
  echo $li
done

Answer 2

too lazy to write))
read line by line from $LS
