How to open files with a certain file name only?

Hi Guys,

I am trying to open some files which have a certain name as follows:

files1 = Files In Directory( "C:\log\*.test*" );

However I do not get anything in files1. How can I just search for specific file names and save them in the files1 list?

Thanks.

One way:

files1 = Files In Directory("C:\log")

Then go through the list and discard any file names that do not match your file mask, leaving a smaller list containing only the kind of file names you want.

Try this:
= 1, i--,
If( !Starts With( files1[i], "test" ),
Remove From( files1, i )
);
);
Show( files1 );
