I need to have a function in my program that creates an char array of all a certain type of file in a directory (e.g. "*.bmp"), how would I do this? so my array would read something like: "blah.bmp" "blah2.bmp" "anything.bmp" Please help, I would really like to know

As found in MSDN

HANDLE FindFirstFile(
LPCTSTR lpFileName, // file name
LPWIN32_FIND_DATA lpFindFileData // data buffer
);
