st: Reading multiple .csvs from a folder

Hello collective wisdom,
I was wondering if STATA has a means of reading all .csvs (or similar
formats) from within a designated folder.
Namely, instead of having to designate specific .csv *filenames*, I'd
like to be able to designate a *folder* (and potentially apply a regex
or regex-like filter for choosing specific .csvs from within said
folder).
I am essentially looking for the STATA equivalent of Python's GLOB [
http://docs.python.org/library/glob.html ;]
Many thanks for your insights!
Best regards,
Vianney
