Since noone else suggested it : opendir DIR, $dir; while ($file = readdir DIR) { next if $file !~ /^sn\.\d\d\d\d\.txt$/i; # I don't know if you want it case sensitive. If yes, drop the i # option at the end of the previous command next if -d $file; # just in case open IN, "$dir/$file" or die "Can't open $dir/$file : $!\n"; ... close IN; } Read on opendir, readdir and closedir.
