One could use Rio (rio.rubyforge.org)

This would find the files which start with '100_'

rio("/Users/alamb/_Current-Work/fiches").files(/^100_/) do |path|
...
end

To include files in subdirectories that start with '100_' use:

rio("/Users/alamb/_Current-Work/fiches").all.files(/^100_/) do |path|
...
end
