Retrieving a file pattern format from an array

Hi Experts, I have an array of strings which stores xml files.

I would like to be able to retrieve files with a certain format.

//Current array data
KB_Java.xml
KB_Template.xml
kb00001.xml
kb00002.xml

I would like to retrieve the following.
kb00001.xml
kb00002.xml

My current method is looping through each file entry within the array, assign it to a string and then i wish to say something like,

If(stringFile(i) == certain pattern) then //matching kb00001/kb00002/kb00003 etc ..
    add unique entry to another uniqueEntries array



Very hard and as of yet my research has found nothing on this :o(

Any ideas?
