Regular Expression on Directory Contents

This should be an easy question for you gurus. Smilie

How can I create a regular expression to match all files in the current directory that have only one period in their file name, and also not contain the string "abc" before the period?

It would match:
foo.txt
foobar.log

It would not match:
foo.bar.txt
abc.txt

I'm going to use this inside an if-statement in a ksh script, if that makes any difference.
