Pattern argument in Directory.GetFiles() method

[Christoph Boget]

Are you only allowed to define one pattern? ie, "*.txt"? Or
can you define multiple patterns? ie, "*.txt; *.doc; *.xls"? If
you are allowed to do the latter, what is the syntax? I've tried
various seperators (;, :, etc) but none work and that leads me
to believe that this functionality isn't natively supported and that
I'd need to implement my own work around.

Can someone let me know if I'm missing something?

thnx,
Christoph

According to the MSDN, only '*' and '?' are wild card specifiers, you have
to code it :(

Have a look at this:
