Using wildcard in ASP script (not SQL) 1

[Aqif]

Hi

I am new to ASP and thought that using wildcards will be easy in ASP but it turns out a bit different. Would anyone will be kind enough to point my logic to right direction

Code
----

For Each objItem In objFolder.Files

If objItem.Name = "*" & strSearch & "*" Then
Response.Write(ObjItem.Name & "-" & objFolder.Path & "<P>")
End If

Next

As obvious I am trying to compare the filename with all the files exisiting in a particular directory.

Thanks in advance

Cheers!

It's important to learn the rules so that you know how to break them.

Not sure about wildcards but you could always try using InStr()...

For Each objItem In objFolder.Files
    
  If InStr(objItem.Name, strSearch) Then
    Response.Write(objItem.Name & "-" & objFolder.Path & "<P>")
  End If

Next
