Hi,

I am trying to figure out how to open a datafile without knowing the name of
the datafile.  For example, using the below code, I can open the datafile
LogFile.dat from the folder where the script is located.  Both the script
and LogFile.dat are saved in the same folder therefore the below code works.

$inputFile="LogFile.dat";

# Opening LogFile.dat
open (DATA,$inputFile)||die("Can't open datafile: $!");

However, if I didn't know the name of the datafile how would I open it?  I
tried $inputFile="(*).dat"; and $inputFile="*.dat"; but neither works.  Does
anyone have any ideas?  Thanks,

Allison
