Cor, thanks for the snippet.
according to your snippet, doesn't it create an array for all the files
inside that directory and not just the "testFile_xx"?

Nick, to answer your question....
it's a small exercise for myself. :-)
an application for this type of naming is a sequential graphic animation
files.
i'm doing this to avoid overwriting the existing file and resume sequence
from the highest index file.

can you elaborate why
      testFile_4
comes after
      testFile_34?
