Directory browsing with MS C 2008

Dear experts!

I’m programmer with 10+ years in industry, but totally new to MS C 2008 and I need help.

I have a variable
LPCTSTR sPicFile=”C:\Temp\Pic001.tif”

I need a code which to search directory for files like
C:\Temp\Pic002.tif C:\Temp\Pic003.tif and so on up to C:\Temp\Pic999.tif

Please note that some of the pic may be missing, however I should put it in correct order in let say LPCTSTR[] sPic

LPCTSTR sPicFile= L”C:\Temp\Pic001.tif”;
or LPCTSTR sPicFile=_T(”C:\Temp\Pic001.tif”);

Look that you do not understand me at all

I have this
LPCTSTR sPicFile= L”C:\Temp\Pic001.tif”;

I need code to check for:
sPicFile= L”C:\Temp\Pic002.tif”; - does the file extis in HDD - if yes - add to thearray
sPicFile= L”C:\Temp\Pic002.tif”; - does the file extis in HDD - if yes - add to thearray
sPicFile= L”C:\Temp\Pic004.tif”; - does the file extis in HDD - if No - do nothing, then check for
sPicFile= L”C:\Temp\Pic005.tif”; - does the file extis in HDD - if yes - add to thearray
