First of all, there is a cross-platform way to list files in directory - try

help readdir
.

Likewise, there is a cross-platform way to choose only the needed files - try

help regexp
.

Finally, even if you need to modify the program, you need to modify only a 
small portion, and it is implemented conceptually by replacing the part to be 
modified with


source("path/to/the/portion/to/be/modified");
.
