File_exists with a regex?

[Anon]

Hi,
Do any of you know how to get a list of files from a local directory that match a regex? For example: I am trying to find all files that start with the word "connect".

All files start with connect and then 10 digits, for example: "connect0108081420". How do i do this?

Please help!

Use opendir() and then readdir() in a loop and then

if(substr($filename, 0, 7) == "connect"))

or

if(preg_match("/^connect/", $filename))

Thanks a lot!

How come i didn't think of it?
Not enough propgramming experience i guess...
