I want to be able to list all the files in a directory that have a certain
pattern in the filename.

For example say I have a directory that had these files:

john_results.dat
fred_results.dat
tom_result.dat
...

I know they are all going to have "_results.dat" in the filenames but how
would I go about getting a list of those files?

thanks for any help.
