find, from findutils, has -exec. It is very handy when it comes to iterating
and processing files and directories with many options.

The following will pass all files in the current directory that have been
modified in the past 20 days through the processing_script:

$ find . -type file -mtime -20 -exec processing_script \{\} \;
