now i'm not 100% on this, but i'm fairly sure you can solve this issue by using pipe commands.
ls *.log | grep whatever whatever
the ls *.log will find only the files ending with .log, and whatever output you get from this, is carried over by the "|" and lets you manipulate it further.
Hope that helped.
