"... then I will go with kcot[t]'s solution."
OK, that got a bit of a chuckle as /3$/ was really intended as a non-solution to highlight the lack of information provided in the question. :-)
Actually, while the strings appear highly contrived, abcd_efgh-1.2.3 looks rather like the directory I might get when unpacking a tarball of v1.2.3 of the "abcd_efgh" application.
If that's the case, then using the -d file test operator might be more appropriate than trying to craft a regex; but, until more information is forthcoming, who knows.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
