Visual Basic.net Does a file exist using wildcards

isocam — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 09:47:34 GMT

Can anybody help?

I am writing a visual basic.net application and I need to see if any files exist with a "*.tmp" filename

Simply...

I have created a directory and I put all my temp files in there. I need to know if any "*.tmp" files exist before i delete (kill) them.

I also need to find if any files exist with the wildcard name "sometext*.tmp"

can anybody help??

any thanks in advance

Perhaps something like this?

If .FileExists(

Sorry, that last post will not work. Here is
one that does, however.

Joe ...

Imports System.IO

Module Module1

Sub
Main()
Dim File As
String

For Each
File In Directory.GetFiles("C:\", "*.tmp")

'<--- do you thing here --->'

Next
File

End Sub

End Module
