in thread a find question !!!!

Here is a another way to get them:

my @patches = grep {/xxx|yyy/} </data/*/*.IND*>; # Above gives the full path to the patches # If you just want the filename, not the full path, use this: #my @patches = map { (split /\//)[-1] } grep {/xxx|yyy/} </data/*/*.I +ND*>;

Perl grep filters a list down to those elements which leave its first argument true. The diamond operator with glob argument takes care of the file finding.
