The following suggestion is from: http://mathematica.stackexchange.com/q/5242/131 *snip* Have a look at FileNames: files=FileNames["*.pdf", NotebookDirectory[]] {"a.pdf","b.pdf","c.pdf"} will get you a list of all files in the directory where your notebook resides (of course you can choose any path) that match "*.pdf". You can then import the files like this: Import[#]&/@files or if you want certain files (look at the help for Part and Span): Import[#]&/@files[[-3;;-1]] (*last three files*) Import[#]&/@files[[1;;10]] (*first ten files*) *snip* Regards, Yves Am 27.09.2012 09:40, schrieb Dominik Hezel: > Hello, > > I have a folder with different files, e.g. > > test1.exp > test2.exp > test1.log > test2.log > ... > > The number of files and actual file names is unknown.
