big in GetFiles()

[icawn]

Sorry, i meant "bug" in GetFiles()..but you probably know that



I wish to pull "*.dft"


Unfortunately, there seems to be a bug which causes this to actually be "*.dft*".

I can't have it pull "*.dft*" because i have .dft files as well as .dft_backup files which are automatically generated. This is extremely inconvenient.

It's inconvenient because i call Array.Sort after getting the files..and it throws an exception saying it cannot compare the .dft file with the .dft_backup file. (If this did not cause an exception, my code would end up just deleting the .dft_backup file, which would be ok with me.)


Here is the basic snippet:

DirectoryInfo loadDirPath = new DirectoryInfo(this.basePath + "\\" + monthYearDir + "\\" + dayDir + "\\" + loadDir);

FileInfo[] allDFTFilesInLoadDir = loadDirPath.GetFiles("*.dft");
string[] test = Directory.GetFiles(loadDirPath.ToString(), "*.dft");

Both of them show 2 files when there is really only one .dft file.



Anyone know how I could get around this?...without having to split on '.' and counting the characters of element[1]. Thanks
