Thanks for the reply.
I have a booklist that contains a list of files. I am trying to 
group the files that start with 5 under one header. lets say we have a few 
files like
5-1
5-2
5-3...

chapterNum contains the value that should be the header under which all the 
files starting with 5 should be held. This can be taken by opening the first 
'5' file i.e 5-1 and reading the chapterNum element from there. However, I 
want to open ONLY the first file to read chapterNum.

Thanks again.
