Using R to list all files with a specified extension

by 
files <- list.files(pattern = "\\.dbf$")

$ at the end means that this is end of string. "dbf$" will work too, but adding \\. (. is special character in regular expressions so you need to escape it) ensure that you match only files with extension .dbf (in case you have e.g. .adbf files).
