>Have you tried """*.abc""" ? I've read in an article that on shell you
can limit it to only the exact match if you place "" around.
Thanks for the idea but 'Illegal characters in path' runtime error
with """*.abc""" (sic).
""*.abc"" gives a design time error.
Looks like I might have to do "*.abc" and then weed out the unwanted
file names but it's a pain and not totally trivial to code in my proc,
which places the results of the Directory.Getfiles in a string array.
The array is then used for other purposes. Nothing insuperable of
course, just a little messy. Getting the desired result from "*.abc"
would have made life significantly simpler.
