If you want to assing values to variables (better: to elements of an array), you can do like that (in GNUlinux/bash):
Code:
$ FILES=( $(find /var/tmp -maxdepth 1 -type f -name "server_[0-9]*" -printf %f" ") )
$ declare -A NAMES    ###this opens an associative array
$ for SERVER in "${FILES[@]}"; do NAMES[$SERVER]=$(grep ssp "$SERVER"); done

If you want to print to screen the servers names, then:
Code:
$ for SERVER in "${FILES[@]}"; do echo -e "${SERVER} names are:\n${NAMES[$SERVER]}"; done
