Help: Saving and Analysing file names to determine extension

-----------------------------------

Hello, 
I want to save a list of files [using the fileName := Dir.Get (streamNumber)]

I then want to save the files to an array, determine the length of wach string, analyse each character, find a given pattern [eg .mp3] and display the file names with said given pattern. Is this possible and if so how could I go about doing this.

If it's not possible does anyone else have any other ideas that could lead to the success of my idea?

PS: My Goal- To be able to organize files by there extentions [ I know there are some things like this but they cannot display anything if there is no space between the file name and extension]

It's possible.

You'll need to make a fileNames.  You can then use some [url=http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=8229]String Manipulation to find the extension.  You can then [url=http://www.compsci.ca/v2/viewtopic.php?t=4091]sort that array, based on the extension.  :)
