How to select the *.txt files using Loops

Hi,

I need to select the txt files from one folder and pass this filename as parameter and the loop should discontinue after all the files are selected and the iteration should continue only once..

Viz., i have files like abc_2005_f1.txt, abc_2006_f1.txt, abc_2007_f1.txt... in /data folder.

I need to select this filename from the folder and pass this as parameter to other function inside the loop. viz.,
msh samplefile.msh abc_2005_f1.txt
msh samplefile.msh abc_2006_f1.txt...Like this the loop should continue and end after the last file..
Can you guide me in making the script..

Thanks,
Kumar

continue(1T)						       Tcl Built-In Commands						      continue(1T)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME
continue - Skip to the next iteration of a loop SYNOPSIS
continue _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
This command is typically invoked inside the body of a looping command such as for or foreach or while. It returns a TCL_CONTINUE code, which causes a continue exception to occur. The exception causes the current script to be aborted out to the innermost containing loop command, which then continues with the next iteration of the loop. Catch exceptions are also handled in a few other situations, such as the catch command and the outermost scripts of procedure bodies. EXAMPLE
Print a line for each of the integers from 0 to 10 except 5: for {set x 0} {$x<10} {incr x} { if {$x == 5} { continue } puts "x is $x" } SEE ALSO
break(1T), for(1T), foreach(1T), return(1T), while(1T) KEYWORDS
