That's a good question. I have never wanted to. Generally in a C program we 
build the list first and process the list afterwards...

    if(findfirst(buffer, &wild_card, FA_NORMAL) == 0) {
      strcpy(wildfiles[wildcounter], wild_card.ff_name);
      wildcounter++;

      while(findnext(&wild_card) == 0) {
        strcpy(wildfiles[wildcounter], wild_card.ff_name);
        wildcounter++;
      }
    }

Use the following link (view in an MS-DOS text file viewer):

http://www.o3one.org/hwdocs/bios_doc/dosref22.html

Have a look and write your own version of the xcopy command using the FCB 
calls;

Function  14h   Sequential Disk File Read
Function  15h   Sequential Disk Write
