How to use "dir" to find files beginning with a certain word

Hi, okay so i have two variables named 'QUS_PNB.mat' and ' JMP_QUS_PNB.mat'

When i run the following:

file_name = dir('*QUS_PNB*.mat');

it gives me both of the files, but dont want to include the JMP one. how do i specify that it must start with a QUS?

Thank you so much.

Remove the first asterisk.

file_name = dir('QUS_PNB*.mat');
