Two functions of dir.h header file namely findfirst and findnext are used to access the files/folders.

Depends on the operating system.

• MS-Windows: FindFirstFile() and FindNextFile().
• *nix: opedir(), readdir()

Google for those key words and you will find more information about how to use those functions.

Sure, if you reasonably proficient with the win32 API to do that with any random bunch of text strings.
