getMatchingFiles

Syntax:

getMatchingFiles (extension);

Purpose:

Finds all files in the current directory which end in the given extension.

This function supports filename bodging - for details see the bodgeFilenames command.

Return value:

The function returns a stack containing an element for every file which was found. Each element is the name of a one of the files without the extension. The values in this stack can then be displayed on the screen for a user to choose which saved game to load or overwrite, although programming such an interface is left to the developer.
