We report results from an updated study of the suppressed decays B- to D K-and B- to D* K- followed by D to K+pi-, where D(*) indicates a D(*)0 or ananti-D(*)0 meson, and D* decays to D pi0 or D gamma. These decays are sensitiveto the CKM unitarity triangle angle gamma, due to interference between the b toc transition B- to D(*)0K- followed by the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay D0to K+pi-, and the b to u transition B- to anti-D(*)0K- followed by theCabibbo-favored decay anti-D0 to K+pi-. We also report an analysis of the decayB- to D(*)pi- with the D decaying into the doubly Cabibbo-suppressed mode D toK+pi-. Our results are based on 467 million Upsilon (4S) to B anti-B decayscollected with the BaBar detector at SLAC. We measure the ratios R(*) of thesuppressed ([K+pi-]_D K-/pi-) to favored ([K-pi+]_D K-/pi-) branching fractionsas well as the CP asymmetries A(*) of those modes. We see indications ofsignals for the B- to D K- and B- to D*K-, D*->D pi0 suppressed modes, withstatistical significances of 2.1 and 2.2 sigma, respectively, and we measure:R_{DK} = (1.1\pm 0.6 \pm 0.2)\times 10^{-2}, A_{DK} = -0.86 \pm 0.47 \^{+0.12}_{-0.16}, R*_{(D pi0)K} = (1.8\pm 0.9 \pm 0.4)\times 10^{-2}, A*_{(Dpi0)K} = +0.77 \pm 0.35\pm 0.12, R*_{(D gamma)K} = (1.3\pm 1.4\pm 0.8 )\times10^{-2}, A*_{(D gamma)K} = +0.36 \pm 0.94\ ^{+0.25}_{-0.41}, where the firstuncertainty is statistical and the second is systematic. We use a frequentistapproach to obtain the magnitude of the ratio r_B = |A(B- to anti-D0 K-) / A(B-to D0K-)|= (9.5^{+5.1}_{-4.1})%, with r_B<16.7% at 90% confidence level. In thecase of B- to D* K- we find r*_B = |A(B^- to anti-D*0 K-)/A(B- to D*0K-)|=(9.6^{+3.5}_{-5.1})%, with r*_B<15.0% at 90% confidence level.
