Hi Team,

I am new to Perl and was wondering if you guys can help me in regards to passing more than one files in the below code; 

my @files=<data/j*.*.txt>;
if (@ARGV) {
  my $test=$ARGV[0];
  $test=lc($test);
  print "Using $test instead\n";
  @files=</data/$test*.*.txt>;
  print "Found @files instead\n";
}
my $outfile='/data/w_c.txt';
my $lotfile='/data/completed.txt';
if (-e $outfile) {
  unlink $outfile;
}

In the above code (my @files=<data/j*.*.txt>;) is currently having all the files starting with j*.*, But I would like to pass all the below files only; 
j*.1.txt
j*.3.txt
j*.a.txt
etc..

How could I pass the list of files?

Thank you,
Pradeep
