String Comparrison Question??

Hi

I am trying to write a function that works with files that only have a ".txt" extension.

code:

str1 = '(Whatever the filename is)
str2 = "*.txt"

intCompare1 = str1 Like str2
if intCompare1 = "-1" then
msgbox("Contains txt file")
else
msgbox("Does not contain txt file")
end if

Question: How do I include in the comparrison, variations of .txt? (eg. *.txt, *.TXT, *.Txt etc...)

Thanks

Why not just convert it to lowercase? Whether it's uppercase or lowercase, it's still the same file.

Code:

---

str1 = LCase$("C:\FILE.TXT")
str2 = ".txt"

If Instr(str1, str2) Then
Msgbox ("Contains txt file")
Else
Msgbox ("Does not contain txt file")
End If

---

Convert both to lower case and the test will always be true

Code:

---

intCompare1 = lcase(str1) like lcase(str2)

---

Thanks for your help guys.
Much appreciated...

Gen-X, two great minds think alike :).

YOu could just put option compare text, in the declarations instead of using lcase$
