Разделение одного каталога на несколько каталогов на основе форматов файлов

У меня работает:

$ cat bin/test
#! /bin/sh
SOMEFILE=$1
MULTILINE="`cat ${SOMEFILE}`"
SOMEVAR="blah"

echo "${MULTILINE}" | while IFS= read -r SINGLELINE
do
 echo "this is a single line: ${SINGLELINE}"
 echo "but accessing this var fails: ${SOMEVAR}"
done

и

$ bin/test bin/test
this is a single line: #! /bin/sh
but accessing this var fails: blah
this is a single line: SOMEFILE=$1
but accessing this var fails: blah
this is a single line: MULTILINE="`cat ${SOMEFILE}`"
but accessing this var fails: blah
this is a single line: SOMEVAR="blah"
but accessing this var fails: blah
this is a single line:
but accessing this var fails: blah
this is a single line: echo "${MULTILINE}" | while IFS= read -r SINGLELINE
but accessing this var fails: blah
this is a single line: do
but accessing this var fails: blah
this is a single line:  echo "this is a single line: ${SINGLELINE}"
but accessing this var fails: blah
this is a single line:  echo "but accessing this var fails: ${SOMEVAR}"
but accessing this var fails: blah
this is a single line: done
