Summary already does this. If you look at the directory report you will 
see an entry that looks something like:

<various numbers> /guide/ *

If you click on the '*' at the end of the line Summary will show you a 
report with all of the files contained in that directory.

You need to tell Summary that you are entered a regular expression. If 
you enter it the way you did Summary will search for an item whose name 
contains a '^', which is unlikely to exist. If, instead, you start the 
search string with a single quote, ie "'^/guide/", it will know that you 
are using a regular expression and return the entries you are looking 
for. A single quote as the first character of the search string is the 
indication to treat the rest of the search string as a regular expression.

Good Luck

example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
