Directory Scan using Wildcards?

[=?Utf-8?B?RGF2aWRN?=]

Hi, does anyone know if I can scan a subdirectory using wildcards? I do not
see a way to do this using:
string folder = @"C:\INPUT\CUST OMERS\ID???BC.* "

DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(f older);
FileInfo[] fileNames = di.GetFiles("Al lInput_*.xml");

Basically, I have lots of foldres under C:\INPUT\CUSTOM ERS and I want to the
..XML files I'm looking for only exists under the ID???BC folders. So I
wanted to dymanically get a list of all the ID???BC folders and then scan
each one for the specified files.

I was trying to do this to avoid having to scan all folders. Plus I need a
dymaic list of all the ??? customers.

You can use
foreach(string folder in Directory.GetDi rectories (@"C:\INPUT\CUS TOMERS
\ID???BC.*"))
foreach( string file in Directory.GetFi les( folder,
("AllInput_*.xm l") ))
