Open file knowing only a part of its name

I\'m currently reading a file and importing the data in it with the line:

# Read data from file.
data = np.loadtxt(join(mypath, \'file.data\'), unpack=True)

import os
import re
for file in os.listdir(mypath):
     if re.match("file_\d+\.data", file):
     ...
