May I suggest the use of the python glob module.
I have just tried it inside a programmable source and it works fine.
Glob will look for all filenames following a pattern. You might also
want to sort them alphabetically after you have created the array
 
here is an example
 
import glob
 
files = glob.glob("file*.dat")  # creates the array you wanted
files.sort()                         # sorts them
 
i = 0
while i < len(files):
    print files[i]
    i = i + 1
