How to define If string contains something.

By the title you may be thinking of .Contains. But that will not work here. I need to define If the Path that I have leads to .Ink or directly to .Exe file. If I try Path.Contains(".Ink"), It wont work because it takes the name of the file and ads .Ink at the end. Example:

Code:

---

Path = "C:\Application.Ink"
If Path.Contains(".Ink") Then
    Code...
End If

---

But this wont work, and I know why, but I dont know any other command how to do it.
Please help.

INK or LNK ?

I don't understand your explanation, sorry. However, while you wait for more replies, the file extension is probably wrong. If you're after the extension for a shortcut, it is "lnk" ie, the first, third and fourth letters of the word "link". You have used capital i instead of lower case l.

Ok, So what I need is to tell the application when the path is leading to .exe or .ink (Shortcut).

If you want to know what the file extension is then try, IO.Path.GetExtension(). And I'm guessing you actually mean "LNK" not "INK"?

Code:

---

Dim filePath = "C:\Application.Lnk"
' get file extension of path in upper case
Dim fileExtension = IO.Path.GetExtension(filePath).ToUpper

' compare
If fileExtension = ".LNK" Then ' shorcut link
    Debug.WriteLine("Link file")
ElseIf fileExtension = ".EXE" Then 'executable
    Debug.WriteLine("Executable file")
End If

Yea, sorry. :P
