The extension is always the same so i dont have to worry about that. How
would i include a search field into the script to allow me to enter the file
names into the page directly.
I am assuming this would be a normal form field?. i.e.

<form name="form" method="post" action="">
<label>search
<input type="text" name="textfield">
</label>
