File Find Question

[Ralph Freshour]

I looked in the manual and searched the web but did not see a file
find function that takes a wild card - I need to look for all files
such as:

$Array = FileFind('name_ *.jpg');

And then I need to delete all such files.

Is there such a function?

Thanks...

Check out opendir() and readdir() - you'll need to write your own routine
to read files, but there is an example in the docs which almost does what
you want, IIRC. And to delete files, see unlink()

Try searching for 'glob' in the manual.
