Answer 1

you need to split the string to grab the string to the right of the dot in the file name. use a generic image for the file extensions you are not interested in and a image of your choice for the file extensions that you are interested in.....

Your best bet is a run-time 2 dimensional array which is filled from a file which will contain the extension and the matching image based on the same array element. With a file controlled array, you can change and update it at any time without changing the program itself....and save yourself some headaches later from a maintenance standpoint.

If you don't have a match in the array, default to a generic image, otherwise use the one specified in the array
