I've finally came out with the code without any errors(after much 
debugging):

  if $file_exception[i] != nil
       $source.each do |file|
         src1 << file unless $file_exception[i].each do |x|
           /#{x}/i =~ File.basename(file)
         end
         end
  else
        src1 = $source
      end

      i = i + 1

       src1.each do |folder|
          Find.find(folder + "/") do |file|

                        :
                        :

It needs to be broken down into each source path and then from each 
source path, you find files recursively. However, there's one problem, 
the exception doesnt work at all? Can anyone help me with the rejigging 
of the file exception part? Thanks!
