You are overcomplicating.

correctarrayfiles = Dir.glob("array_ast_correct_*.rb").size
corrected_files = (0...correctarrayfiles).map do |num|
  correctfiles = findbug.file_exist("array_ast_correct")
  findbug.mark_arrary(correctfiles[num])
end

Now corrected_files contains an array of whatever findbug.mark_arrary
returns. This is semantically identical to your original code, though I
think there are probably issues with the original code, including typos.
