How to use bash within sqlplus?

Question

How to use bash within sqlplus?
meaning I am doing something like this to look for files within a particular directory with some condition.
N=0
for i in $(find . -path \*/waiting/* -type f -not -name "SS*" -mmin +120 -print) ; do
testarray[$N]="$i"
echo "$i"
let "N= $N + 1"
done
Output from above script is as follows:
/d1/d2/d3/d4/waiting/abcd.txt
/d1/d2/d31/d42/waiting/pqrs.txt
/d1/d2/d32/d43/waiting/xyz.txt
And now I want to input this data into database with help of insert.
and here is the little pl/sql block to insert the data with looping thing.
sqlplus $CONNECT <<-EOF
DECLARE
Counter integer :=1;
BEGIN
WHILE Counter <= ${no_of_files} LOOP
INSERT INTO stuck_files(COL_DATE,SER_NAME,TYPE_FILE,FILENAME,FILE_STATUS) VALUES (sysdate,'pqrs','pqrs','pqrs','pqrs');
Counter := Counter + 1;
END LOOP;
END;
commit;
exit;
EOF
Mapping is as follows:
COL_DATE,SER_NAME,TYPE_FILE,FILEFILENAME,FILE_STATUS
sysdate,d3,d4,abcd.txt,waiting
sysdate,d31,d42,pqrs.txt,waiting
sysdate,d32,d3,xyz.txt,waiting
any idea how to do that?
