Overview
To list files:
local dir=...
for f in ${dir}/*; do
[[ -f ${f} ]] && echo -n "$(basename ${f}) "
done
To list directories, replace -f with -d.
find: To further research, it seems the following approach does not work because if there is more than one directory, the first iteration assigns a multi-line to d:
for d in $(find ${dir} -name "*-something"} -type d); do
debug "d: ${d}"
...
done
