From your considered post: I want to capture .txt files that begin with a lower-case letter.* Anchor the pattern: `my @files = grep ( /^[a-z].+\.txt/, readdir($dh));` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

But it's still easier to use glob ;) `my @files = glob('[a-z]*.txt');` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

readdir is low-level, avoid it , use Path::Tiny `use Path::Tiny qw/ path /; my @files = path( 'anypath' )->children( qr/^[a-z].+\.txt$/ );` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
