FindFile wildcard search

[AxelLang]

Hi Kambiz,

I try to search *.doc files in the fileName and the result brings *.doc and *.docx files.
The search only works, if I leave the filename empty and use file filters:

Code: Select all

FindFile.Criteria.Files.Filters.Add('>*.doc')
FindFile.Criteria.Files.Filters.Add('<*.*')

I try to test if this only happens with *.doc files. I create some files with an fantasy extension.
blabla.abc, blaablaa.abcd and so on. A search with *.abc show all files *.abc, *.abcd, *.abcde.

Is this a Bug or a normal behavior?

Regards

Axel

Hi Axel,

FindFile relies on Windows API. And, this is the way Windows treats wildcards. You may want to try dir command or Windows search to check it out.
