How to select specific files from a list

Dear all,
I have a list of wav files like this:
DATA_063901
DATA_064201
DATA_064501
DATA_064801
DATA_065101
.
.
.
DATA_123602
DATA_123901
DATA_124201
DATA_124501
DATA_124801
DATA_125101
Which corresponds to hours, minutes and seconds.
Now I want to only compute one file per hour (or two files per hour), let's say I want to compute for example:
DATA_064501
DATA_074501
DATA_084501
DATA_094501
DATA_104501
How can I do that?
Thank you in advance

What is the rule about which file to select within each hour? The example you gave asked to select several files, all of which end in 4501 which would suggest that your strategy could be along the lines of
Selected_Files = ListOfFiles(endsWith(ListOfFiles, '4501.WAV', 'ignorecase', true));
If your filenames are not as regular as in your example, then you are going to need to describe the algorithm for figuring out which filenames to use.
