It's probably possible to come up with a regex that matches, but I think 
it'd be easier to modify the service program, rather than come up with a 
fancy regex.

Just clone IFS_readdir(), make your own copy that returns all files, but 
also returns a flag indicating whether it matches the regex or not.  That 
way, the calling routine can act differently on the filename if it matches 
than if it doesn't.

Shrug.. this would take me 5 minutes to code, so if you're stuck, let me 
know and I'll code it.
