There are os specific functions to get a list of file names in a folder.
MS-Windows: FindFirstFile() and FindNextFile()

*nix: opendir() and readdir()

google for those function nanes and you will find out how to use them. I've posted a couple code snippets here to show how to use them in c++ programs.

boost has portable functions to do the same thing, but I don't know the function names.
