Hello.

Please kindly let me know if the below sentence makes sense;

'There are two files named A and B.'

I would like to make it mean that one of them is called A and the other one is B.

Thanks!

'There are two files named A and B.'

I want to create a sentence to mean "One of the files is called A and the other is B.", however, I want to start it with "There are two files.." as the above.
Does the sentence actually mean what I want to say?

�There are two files named A and B.� Sounds fine.
