i think i just need an idea or a function's name, respectively. I want the user to select a folder with the StandardGetFolder Dialog, that's easy and working but than i want my script to get all files in that folder which have a specific name, say /^result\d{3}/.
I'm sure this is easy done but i don't know how 8-) Is there a function which returns a list of specific files in a given directory? I checked the MacPerl book and the file related pods quickly but found nothing.
Any ideas will be apreciated.
Everyone else has suggested using readdir and opendir and all that jazz.
I say, why bother? Use File::Find and be done.

Yep, but in this particular case, I still would prefer readdir, because it is fast. File::Find is sloooow compared to that. File::Find is better suited if you are going to search a whole directory tree, imho.
