I have a large number of image files that are named in groups. If one image in the group is named 12345, the others will be named 12345-2, 12345-3, 12345-4 etc. Unfortunately, the person maintaining the files will sometimes drop an image, and not rename the others in the group, so I can have a 12345, a 12345-3, but not a 12345-2. There is also no way to know how many files there are in a group. Most have only one file, some have two, a few have more, and a few have none.
I need to know how many files I have in the group I'm working with, and if possible their files names. Is there any way to programmatically look for all files where the first 5 characters is "12345" for or all files named "12345*" ? Or at least to get a count of how many files start with 12345? I need to display them, and where that are more than 9, implement paging which is really hard to do if I don't know how many files I have to work wit ...
