Say I have a textfile with the following words:

Apple
Bake
Bike
Cake
Lemon
Water


I want to find all the four letter words with the second letter of 'a' and the fourth letter of 'e'. Something like '_a_e'

The matches would be Bake and Cake. How would I find the matches though? I do not know what to search for. I have add the list to a String() and have also tried a List(Of String), but cannot figure it out?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Troy.
