In general the cleaner solution to open a bunch of related files is to
run etags on the files, visit the tags table, and let emacs open the
necessary files for you.
This is a far more efficient way of locating and jumping to a
particular function definition in a collection of C files compared to
opening all the files together in EMACS. The same applies to TeX files
etc.
A program called petags was posted on this group a while ago that
extends etags functionality to syntax not recognized by etags, so
unless you have some other reason to want to open a bunch of files in
Emacs using regexps (I don't see any) you should probably use tags.
