st: saving all file names in directory/folder

["Raphael Fraser" <raphael.fraser@gmail.com>]

what wrong with my syntax?

I am trying to save all the csv files in a folder for an append.

local myfiles: dir "C:\data\kingdom\*.csv"

foreach file of local myfiles {
  display "`file'"
}

An explanation as to why the above doesn't work is also welcomed
