looping through files with spaces in the filenames in bash

I sometimes have to transfer files with spaces in the names, I like using a for loop, but the usual way doesn’t work. Usual way:

for file in `find . -type f|grep .ext$`
do
/do/something/to $file
done
To get around this I use a while loop with a read instead. Using the read will read to the end of the line, enclosing within quotes escapes the spaces. Unusual way:
find . -type f|grep .ext$ |while read file
do
/do/something/to "$file"
done
