Reading null delimited strings from find output in bash

Let's suppose that we have the following contents in current directory:

$ ls -la
total 52
drwxr-xr-x 3 dmitritelinov dmitritelinov 4096 Sep 21 20:59 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 dmitritelinov dmitritelinov 4096 Sep 16 19:47 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 dmitritelinov dmitritelinov  219 Sep 21 20:59 array.sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 dmitritelinov dmitritelinov  266 Aug 29 22:07 datasources.tf
-rw-r--r-- 1 dmitritelinov dmitritelinov   16 Sep 12 22:40 dev.tfvars
-rw-r--r-- 1 dmitritelinov dmitritelinov  119 Sep  4 22:51 linux-ssh-config.tpl
-rw-r--r-- 1 dmitritelinov dmitritelinov 2555 Sep 16 21:25 main.tf
-rw-r--r-- 1 dmitritelinov dmitritelinov   62 Sep 18 23:20 outputs.tf
drwxr-xr-x 3 dmitritelinov dmitritelinov 4096 Apr 25 21:37 .terraform
-rw-r--r-- 1 dmitritelinov dmitritelinov 1106 Apr 16 22:55 .terraform.lock.hcl
-rw-r--r-- 1 dmitritelinov dmitritelinov   18 Sep 10 22:24 terraform.tfvars
-rw-r--r-- 1 dmitritelinov dmitritelinov  460 Aug 31 23:25 userdata.tpl
-rw-r--r-- 1 dmitritelinov dmitritelinov   61 Sep 10 22:24 variables.tf

And if we run the below command - we are getting a null delimited string:

$ find -maxdepth 1 -type f -name "*.tf" -print0
./outputs.tf./datasources.tf./main.tf./variables.tf

The output of this command will have \0 character - non printable character:

$ find -maxdepth 1 -type f -name "*.tf" -print0 | cat -v

./outputs.tf^@./datasources.tf^@./main.tf^@./variables.tf^@ ^@ means the ASCII character control-@, i.e. character 0, which in C is the string end character.

You can see it from this example also:

$ find -maxdepth 1 -type f -name "*.tf" -print0 | hd
00000000  2e 2f 6f 75 74 70 75 74  73 2e 74 66 00 2e 2f 64  |./outputs.tf../d|
00000010  61 74 61 73 6f 75 72 63  65 73 2e 74 66 00 2e 2f  |atasources.tf../|
00000020  6d 61 69 6e 2e 74 66 00  2e 2f 76 61 72 69 61 62  |main.tf../variab|
00000030  6c 65 73 2e 74 66 00                              |les.tf.|

To parse such string in bash, there is a following example - array.sh:

$ cat array.sh 
#!/bin/bash

array=()
while IFS=  read -r -d $'\0'; do
  array+=("$REPLY")
done < <(find -maxdepth 1 -type f -name "*.tf" -print0)

for i in "${array[@]}"
do
  echo ${i:2}
done

Output of script execution:

$ bash array.sh 
outputs.tf
datasources.tf
main.tf
variables.tf
