and
cin_deva.avi
cin_devb.avi
cin_devc.avi
cin_deve.avi

LAST EDITED ON 05-02-02 AT 11:55 AM (EST) How about

read[0-9][0-9]\.mpg

and

cin_dev[a-z]\.avi

Items in the bracket specify a range of characters to match for that position in the string. The backslash escapes the dot which is a reserved token matching any single character.
