Easy cat question

I am having problems getting a list of filenames that I want from a directory.

example: I have 3 files - filename.xxx.20110505.123030
filename.yyy.20110505.123030
filename.zzz.20110505.123030

There may be multiple xxx, yyy, or zzz files.

I want to be able to only pick up the xxx and zzz files. I tried this:

listxxx=`ls filename.xxx.201*.*`
listzzz=`ls filename.zzz.201*.*`

cat $listxxx $listzzz > filelist

But when I run it, it puts the contents of the files in filelist instead of just the filenames. I need a list of the filenames so I can do further processing.

I'm sure there's an easy way to do this, but it is escaping me.

Thanks for all advice.

NAME
face - executable for the Framed Access Command Environment Interface SYNOPSIS
face [-i init_file] [-c command_file] [-a alias_file] [filename...] DESCRIPTION
The Framed Access Command Environment Interface (FACE) presents your files and file folders on the screen through a system of menus and forms if you are properly set up as a FACE user. filename must follow the naming convention Menu.xxx for a menu, Form.xxx for a form, and Text.xxx for a text file, where xxx is any string that conforms to the UNIX system file naming conventions. The Form and Menu Language Interpreter (FMLI) descriptor lifetime will be ignored for all frames opened by argument to face. These frames have a lifetime of immortal by default. If filename is not specified on the command line, the FACE Menu will be opened along with those objects specified by the LOGINWIN environment variables. These variables are found in the user's .environ file. OPTIONS
The following options are supported: -a alias_file Alias file -c command_file Command file -i init_file Initial file OPERANDS
The following operand is supported: filename The full pathname of the file describing the object to be opened initially. EXIT STATUS
The face command will return a non-zero exit value if the user is not properly set up as a FACE user. FILES
