Help Needed...

I have these lines of code:
myFile= File("~/Desktop/UStar/Sample.csv");
myFile = File(myFile.fsName);

to read a CSV file of the name Sample.csv in a specific folder. This all works hunky dory. I am needing to adapt this part to read whichever csv file is in this directory (regardless of its name) and to have the file name put into a variable that I will use later on in the script.
i.e the file could be called 'order number 100.csv', which will be read into 'myFile' and the name 'order number 100' used within the script.

Cheers

Roy
