<?php
foreach(glob("*.txt") as $filename){
    $Data = file($filename);
    $Data = explode("\n",$Data);
    for($i = 0 ; $i<count($Data) ; $i++){
        $test = explode("|",$Data[$i]);
        $name = $test[0];
        $lname = $test[1];
        echo "$name-$lname<br />";

}
}
?>

that should get you started, you should look up glob() in the manual
