Grepping large list of files

Hi All,

I need help to know the exact command when I grep large list of files. Either using ls or find command. However I do not want to find in the subdirectories as the number of subdirectories are not fixed. How do I achieve that.

I want something like this:
Code:
find ./ -name "MYFILE*.txt" | wc -l  (excluding subdirectories).

I am using HPUnix.

Thanks
Angshuman
