[Dev-C++] reading and comparing filenames

[Guillermo G. <ggu...@ma...>]

I have a bit of a dilemma, I have an app that copies files from one =
folder to another.
Now I need to copy different files from a second folder but I dont want =
to get all of them.
As newer versions of these files are created, the previous versions are =
renamed to "filename.****.bpl" as opposed to "filename.bpl".
the "****" is a four digit number representing the file time from the =
timestamp. I want to copy only the newer files (filename.bpl) and not =
the previous ones (filename.****.bpl).=20

What would be the best way to:
	a) get a list of the filenames.
	b) filter down to a list of the newer filenames (w/o the ".****")
	c) and finally copy only the ones on the filtered list.
