I guess you want
grep("\\.P0$", nfichiers)
Otherwise you get "XP0X" as a positive as well.
And for the others:
grep("\\.P[^0]$", nfichiers)
with ".P[^0]", you'd get "XPXX" as positive, for example...
because you are looking for something that contains a P that is preceded
by any character and followed by some non-zero character.
