using array in ksh

hi all,
need help with putting names in an array, i have a few servers which i look up by doing a 'find . -name "*.pid' and the format of the output is like following :

./servername/myserver.pid

i was wondering how can i iterate through and store each name in one array

my code is as follows so far :

find ./ -name "*.pid" |
while read LINE;
do
serverArray[counter]=$($LINE | cut -d\/ -f2);

done

but this doesnt seem to work. any suggestions ??

thanks in advance.

If you have GNU find:

Code:

IFS='
'
serverArray=(
 $( find ./ -name "*.pid" -printf "%f\n" )
)

With a standard find:

Code:

serverArray=(
 $( find ./ -name "*.pid" | awk -F/ '{print $NF}'  )
)
