You can use the File system adapter Extract service in B2B integrator. There is a filename filter you can use so the service will only collect files that match a specified filter within the collection folder. Examples: *.txt or *.xml .

    <process name="ExampleFileCollection"> 
<operation name="File System Adapter"> 
<participant name="ExampleCollectionFSA"/> 
<output message="FileSystemInputMessage"> 
    <assign to="." from="*"/> 
    <assign to="Action">FS_COLLECT</assign> 
    <assign to="collectZeroByteFiles">false</assign> 
    <assign to="deleteAfterCollect">false</assign> 
    <assign to="fileModTimeThreshold">60</assign> 
    <assign to="filter">*.txt</assign> 
    <assign to="initialWorkFlowId">FIND_MESSAGE_CONSUMER</assign> 
    <assign to="maxThreads">10</assign> 
    <assign to="noFilesSetSuccess">false</assign> 
</output> 
<input message="inmsg"> 
    <assign to="." from="*"/> 
</input> 
</operation> 
    </process>
