FileSystemObject filter?

Hello,

I'm using the Filesystemobject in VB.NET 1.1. Is there anyway to
filter on the files based on an extension? Something like:

        Dim fso As New FileSystemObject
        Dim objFolder As Folder
        Dim objFile As File

        'Work with the root first
        objFolder = fso.GetFolder(strWWWRoot)

        For Each objFile In objFolder.Files("*.txt")

        Next

I've search on the web and in the archives and can't find anything. I
can test for the file extension on each file, but this seems
ridiculously awkward. My recollection with some of the VB6 filesystem
controls was that you could put a filter in them.

Thanks,
Eric

Do you mean you are using Scritping.FileSystemObject ? I would use
System.IO.DirectoryInfo instead (that does what you need + it"s part of the
base .NET library)...

I suggest to use 'System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(<path>, <pattern>)' instead
of the FSO.
