Take a look at the readdir() function and its header file.
The help for this function contains an example that might
get you started.

About your system() command, you could do it as

char show_files[] = "dir *.exe /s > exe_files.txt";
system(show_files);

This would list all .exe files in all subdirectories in the
file exe_file. This you can easily modify to change the
extension on runtime.
