I believe I already answered these questions in reply to your previous 
message.  Was something wrong with what I wrote?

Use the library function `rename' to move the files.  Use `findfirst' and 
`findnext' to find the files in the original directory.  If you want your 
program to be portable to Unix and GNU/Linux systems, use `glob' or 
`opendir', `readdir', and `fnmatch' instead to `findfirst' and `findnext'.
