For those cases, we have find(1) and xargs(1):
#!/bin/sh
find /var/tmp -name '*.wav' -exec rm '{}' \+
or
#!/bin/sh
find /var/tmp -name '*.wav' -print0 | xargs -0 rm
Whitespace handling _is_ important in shell scripts, but it is also a
good idea to entirely avoid having to handle with it when we can :-)
