Wildcards in Tcl/Tk

http://phaseit.net/claird/comp.lang.tcl/fmm.html

Very useful link on wildcards in Tcl Tk. This line solved my problem;
mol new [glob fitted*.pdb rev*.pdb]

A little background would help greatly. I had a set of directories each of which had either a fittedxxx.pdb or revxxx.pdb file. I wanted a single tcl script that would go into these directories and read the fitted/rev file and perform calculations. Since the name of the file in each directory was different, I needed a way to select whatever was available. glob does exactly that.
