I'm using code

but the code can't find files with fileBase in it if the fileBase
starts the filename.
if the filenames are rnoise##.tif and fileBase is "rnoise" the file
won't be found. If fileBase is "noise" the files will be found.
str.find() returns the index to the left-most occurrence or -1 if
the substring is not found. So, if the file name starts with
fileBase, find() return 0 which you filter out with your test
f.find(fileBase)> 0.
Either use f.find(fileBase) >= 0 or better:
baseFiles = []
for f in allFiles:
if fileBase in f:
baseFiles.append(f)
