ok, iŽll try to be a little more clear i have a dir "/data" with all the patches for a program, but in that dir is also patches for other program. the patches all make there own directories so the patches are in "/data/$patch" and in order for me to get the patch name then i have to do an regex. and last i need to put all the patches into a array 
for (`find /data/ -name "*.IND" | grep -E "xxx|yyy"`)
    ($patch) = ($_ =~ /.*\/(.*)\..*$/);
    @patch = $patch shift || '.';
