in reply to How to get only files ending with a ,<word>

The \b anchor matches between an alphanumeric character and a non-alphanumeric. If you have /\b,/, that means that the character on the "other side" of the \b (away from the comma) has to be an alphanumeric character. How many filenames do you have that have an alphanumeric character followed by a comma?

Perhaps you wanted /,\w+$/ instead?
