Good Lord, I guess I wasn't thinking very clearly trying to use PATH as a variable for something else. I changed to, FILE_DIR=$(ls -d './'$SET'/'$FOLD'/'$FOLD'_anneal/'$PARAM_SET'/'$AN_SET) echo $FILE_DIR FILE_LIST=($(ls $FILE_DIR'/'*'out.txt' )) echo ${FILE_LIST[@]} and everything is fine. I guess it was a bash issue after all. Thanks for checking that out.
