Results of "find" to an array
I am looking to search a directory for a folder or file and when it finds any hits I want it to store those hits in an array so I can work with those hits later on.

I have been trying to do something like this but it isn't putting results into an array like I would like, is it syntax or is this not possible?

Code:
TARGET="MyRoot"
START_PATH="/Users/rtipton/Desktop/"

PATH_COUNT=0

find "$START_PATH" -type d \( -iname "$TARGET" \) -exec PATH_RESULTS[PATH_COUNT=$PATH_COUNT+1]=`echo {}` \;

Any ideas?
Rob

seqwords

SEQWORDS(1e)						     EMBOSS Manual for Debian						      SEQWORDS(1e)

NAME

       seqwords - Generates DHF files from keyword search of UniProt.

SYNOPSIS

       seqwords -keyfile infile -spfile infile -outfile outfile

       seqwords -help

DESCRIPTION

       seqwords is a command line program from EMBOSS ("the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite"). It is part of the "Protein:3D
       Structure" command group(s).

OPTIONS

   Input section
       -keyfile infile
	   This option specifies the name of keywords file (input). This contains a list of keywords specific to a number of SCOP or CATH families
	   and superfamilies used by SEQWORDS to search a sequence database.

       -spfile infile
	   This option specifies the name of the sequence database (input) to search.

   Output section
       -outfile outfile
	   This option specifies the name of the DHF file (domain hits file) (output). A 'domain hits file' contains database hits (sequences)
	   with domain classification information, in the DHF format (FASTA-like). The hits are relatives to a SCOP or CATH family (or other node
	   in the structural hierarchies) and are found from a search of a sequence database. Files containing hits retrieved by PSIBLAST are
	   generated by using SEQSEARCH, hits retrieved by a sparse protein signatare by using SIGSCAN or various types of HMM and profile by
	   using LIBSCAN. Default value: test.hits

BUGS

       Bugs can be reported to the Debian Bug Tracking system (http://bugs.debian.org/emboss), or directly to the EMBOSS developers
       (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=93650&atid=605031).

SEE ALSO
