Problematic: try
find /usr/local/ldb/db -name '.*[0-9][0-9]*.*' -maxdepth 1 | while read file
or
find /usr/local/ldb/db -name '[0-9]*' -maxdepth 1 | while read file
or
find /usr/local/ldb/db -name '[0-9]' -maxdepth 1 | while read file
depending on whether one wants filenames containing digits, or filenames
with *only* digits, or filenames consisting of a single digit.
The main problem with your suggestion, apart from
forgetting the backquotes, is that, if there's a large
number of files one might get a 'too many arguments'
diagnostic from the shell. For small lists, however,
it might work well enough.

The rest of it looks reasonably good, pending my verification of the
'-z' argument.

Linux. Because Windows' Blue Screen Of Death is just
way too frightening to novice users.
