char *filenames[] = {"file1","file2","file3",NULL};

for(int i = 0; filenames[i] != NULL; i++)
{
    FILE* fp = fopen(filenames[i], "r");
    // do something

    // now close the file
    fclose(fp);
}

char *filenames[] = {"file1","file2","file3",NULL}; for(int i = 0; filenames[i] != NULL; i++) { FILE* fp = fopen(filenames[i], "r"); // do something // now close the file fclose(fp); }

Great I already posted an example of exactly that algorithm. One problem may be how to get a list of the filenames. Do you want to create them at runtime, such as appending a number after a commen name? Or get a list of existing filenames ? Or something else ?
