    Resolved [RESOLVED] Searching and deleteing files (using wildcards)

    Hey everyone... I really don't have any idea how to even start a code project of this sort but here it goes...

    I have an external Hard Drive with some music. My itunes makes duplicates of all my songs so this is what i have.

    Dance.mp3
    Dance 1.mp3
    Dance 2.mp3
    Dance 3.mp3
    Party.mp3
    Party 1.mp3
    ... ect...

    What I want to do is have the program search the files and delete all files that have a duplicate with a number behind it... Now I would use windows search but some of the songs are like 1001.mp3 or 1001 1.mp3...

    I want it to look like this when i get done (from the above):

    Dance.mp3
    Party.mp3

    Can anyone understand this enough to help me out.

    Thanks in advance for ANY and ALL help,
    -Bigal
