Or you could make a 'index' file and only open that one. Its contents
would be something like:

angelinajolie.txt Angelina Jolie
gwynnethpaltrow.txt Gwynneth Paltrow
judelaw.txt Jude Law
lawrenceolivier.txt Sir Lawrence Olivier
michaelgambon.txt Michael Gambon


Or use a database.


Of course these options assume the 'index' file and the database would
be updated for every new file ... (and deletions and changes).
