FileFindFirst Does Not Work with *.*

The code below works fine. file_name receives the name of the first file found that has an extension of .txt

Dim filepath string "C:\\testme\\*.txt"
Dim file_name string
Dim found boolean
Dim msg string
messagebox filepath
FileFindFirst filepath file_name found
Concatex found " " file_name msg
messagebox msg

However, change the first line to

Dim filepath string "C:\\testme\\*.*"

and found still returns True, but file_name is empty.

Is this a known bug? Or is there some other way to get FileFindFirst to work with total wildcard searches? I have 3.4.26 installed.

Try dir *.* in DOS and you always get something even if the folder is empty. You actually get "." and ".."

Same thing is here. To remedy this, check if the returned value is empty. If yes, set found to FALSE

Hope this helps

Thanks. Just wondered if it was working correctly. I can check the results. That works fine.
