Long file name read

Hi all,

I have 100 files naming e.g: 20120926092230TC.txt[description of the file: 20120926: Year-Month-Date,092230: changes for file to file and TC is fixed. Every file start with 2012..what I want to do is to use 2012 as a identifier and load all files associated with 2012. How can I do this?

Assuming the files are in the current directory:

your_files = dir('2012*.txt');

But otherwise you could always give the complete path:

your_files = dir('/path/to/files/2012*.txt');
