It is safer to use ${year} than $year\_ because there are some letters
which, if backslashed, have entirely different meanings.

Ahhh.
So this is more appropriate:
my @list1 = grep(/$year\_$month\_.*01\.txt/, @allFiles);
my @list2 = grep(/$year\_$month\_.*01a\.txt/, @allFiles);
Note to self: I should be using the warnings. Maybe I should write that on
my monitor in permanent marker so I don't forget. ;)
Thank

These regexes look for variables $year_ and $month_.
Let me guess -- you're not using warnings, r
For some reason when I am grepping a list like this one, the regular
expression doesn't seem to be working. The $year and $month seem to be
ignored.
The following code prints:
1999_12_stats_log_01.txt1998_07_stats_log_01a.txt
It should print only:
1998_07_stats_log_01a.txt
