wildcards in rename()?

Hi all!

Do any of you know if wildcards are accepted when calling rename()
function?

Thanks/Alvaro

What part of the description of rename() rules out the possibility of
wildcard support?
No part, and thats not precisely what Joona said. What _is_ your
problem? Why not simply augment Joona's response helpfully?

I'm not getting into this kind of argument again... =)


Um, Mark, Dan's arguing with Emmanuel Delahaye here, not with me.


So he is, quite right. No argument about that.

Using SQL Query Analyzer, the query select * from file

I need to import a text file pretty much daily. I download the file and change the name to a standard name and then run the code to import the file into a table in my database. The problem is that the file starts with a standard name but adds the date and some other stuff to the end of the file name. Is there a way I could use a wildcard like "*" so I wouldn't have to change the name? Thanks for any help
