Click to See Complete Forum and Search --> : Dir Function vs FileSystemObject

I am working with a piece of code that will scroll through directories on a drive searching for a specific file type. ie .txt

The DIR function can filter out files that I am interested in.


myItem = Dir(myDirectory & "*.TXT")


My question is, can the same be done with the FileSystemObject?

I am using the following code, but it is looping through about a billion files that I am not interested in.


Dim objFolder As Scripting.Folder
Dim objFile As Scripting.File


For Each objFile In objFolder.Files
If UCase(Right(objFile.ShortPath, 4)) = ".TXT" Then
'.TXT File Found!!!
Next objFile


Any help would be much appreciated.
