Part 2:

--------------------------------------------------------------
-- now with any of the backup files listed above
-- you can add them in the place below and select from @fileListTable 
--------------------------------------------------------------

declare @fileListTable table

insert into @fileListTable 
    exec('restore filelistonly from disk = ''YourBackupFile.bak''') ;
