reading filenames inside a program
UNIX Sun Ultra60 5.5.1

Hello everybody, I have a problem that seems simple but turns out to be complex (for me at least). My program needs to open a directory (this part is easy), scan each filename and determine whether or not a file with the suffix (.07) exists. So the program would return true if these files existed in the specified dir:

00.01.02.03.01
01.02.01.06.02
03.06.02.06.07 <----
01.01.02.01.00

and false if the extension did not exist. I've tried looking for functions on the internet (like stat() for example) but haven't really found anything that seems like it would work. Is there a specific function that returns the filename into a given string? That would definitely solve all my problems...If anyone has any thoughts at all, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
