Hello all,

I have a simple question:

I have filenames that look like these:
 "n031ku09.10msmeanc" "n031ku10.10msmeanc" "n031ku11.10msmeanc"
[22] "n031ku12.10msmeanc" "n031ti01.10msmeanc" "n031ti02.10msmeanc"

I also have a set of the same without the "c" at the end.

When I run list.files(".", pattern="*ku[01-30].meanc"), I get no result.
I'm guessing that what I have here a problem with "." as a wildcard or
metacharacter. How do I get it to read as a literal in that expression?

TIA,

David
