wildcard with exists?

[Nancy Palmquist]

Scott,

You would have to use the @dirlist[] or one of the variations to get all 
the names of the files in a folder.  This will accept a mask to wildcard 
the selection.  Then you can use that array to see if any match your 
wildcard.  I use these for file management stuff.
