Hi EB,

I think Robert kindly provies a pretty neat script which is what I want. 
I am not sure if you also need a similar one like this, which searches a 
directory and all children directory for the file specified.

###
require 'find'

path='I:/Common/xxx/Notebooks/Flow/OT1/OTI-4'

file_number = 0

Find.find(path) do |f|

   puts f if File.file?(f) && f=~/\.\d+$/
                # print out the file with format xxx.001 xxx.002...
   file__number+=1

end

puts file_number
