getting certain filenames in directory

[emperorevil]

How can I get a list of filenames in a directory that fit a "template."
Example (this is the actual program):
The user types in some text in a text box on a dialog box. He/she types in "Map####.lmu". And now I want to get a list of all the files that start with "Map", end with ".lmu", and have a 4 digit number in the middle. How would I do that?

hhhmm
get the full list and run a reg exp on it, u would need an algorithm to convert the Template into a Reg Exp, and as im a borland guy im not sure Reg Exp is implemented in MSVC++
