wildcard search problems

[TheBigGuy]

I have a problem, whereby a directory is being listed through and a comparison is being performed between each filename (name) and a wildcard search string '*CHK*.afx'. Any filenames which should be picked out by the wildcard comparison aren't, and as a result, the code keeps jumping to the <cfelse> statement (2)

<cfloop query=&quot;FTP_Dirlist&quot;>
<cfif name eq '*CHK*.txt'>
.....do something (1)
<cfelse>
.....do something else (2)
</cfif>
</cfloop>

If anyone could help would be v.much appreciated! [sig][/sig]

seems that you need reg expression here !
so either use jscript validation, or the cf function REFindNoCase (should be fine here !!)
maybe you only need to check if there's the &quot;CHK&quot; string in your file name (and then &quot;.txt&quot, in that case you can try the Find (or FindNoCase) cf function as well
hope that helped !
