Files from a folder

Hi I am a new user of Matlab. I have a text file with Station Names and Distances. I have also a folder containing Data files (SAC format) containing names of stations. I need to extract only files compared with text file stations. Others must be deleted. How I can extract files of my interest. Following is the format. Text file e.g 71336526.csv Contents of file is : In first row: 'EventID=71336526" 2nd 3rd 4th ............: Column1= Disances Column2= Names like BAV for Folder files: Name of the folder = 71336526 File Containing:

NC.BAV..EHZ.D.2010.007.071549.SAC
NC.BBGB..HHE.D.2010.007.071550.SAC
NC.BBGB..HHZ.D.2010.007.071550.SAC

I need to extract only with the name as BAV as in text file. How to extract? Waiting for an immediate response. Cheers Zafar
