Post Using masks Reply with quote

Hi there,

When using the * wildcard with FileFindFirst, it does not seem to work if the syntax was "test*.txt" but will work for "*.txt". How do I get it to work in the first instance? Thanks.

It should work with "test*.txt" as long as you have at least one file that match this mask.

Should it matter that I'm putting in the full path?
i.e. d:\folder\test*.txt

Sure, it is. your forget about \t (see Special ASCII characters in the help)

Change your script to d:\\folder\\test*.txt and it will be fine.
