Subject: help with grep list files

All,

I have the following files in a directory and I would like only a list of those starting with ?lld" and ending with ?dat?.  I used the following and it gives me the lld files 

 list.files(path = readpath, pattern = "^lld[A-Z0-9]")
 
to get just .dat files I tried

 list.files(path = readpath, pattern = "^lld[A-Z0-9].dat$?) but nothing is returned


below is a dput from the first command.  $ is an end of line anchor correct?  What am I doing wrong?


Best,
Glenn
