    Question Search for file containing a word? [Resolved]

    I have this code:

    Code:
        Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
            ' make a reference to a directory
            Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInfo("c:\")
            Dim diar1 As IO.FileInfo() = di.GetFiles("test.txt")
            Dim dra As IO.FileInfo
    
            'list the names of all files in the specified directory
            For Each dra In diar1
                ListBox1.Items.Add(dra)
            Next
        End Sub
    If I want to filter the search then I change di.GetFiles("righ here")
    What do I do if I want to search for something similar to something.

    ex.
    If I wanted to search for files containg the word "Test" then what would I do?
