Take the 2-minute tour ×  I have the following piece of code:
foreach (string file in Directory.GetFiles(sourcePath))     //
whatever  That gets files from a specific directory. Would it be
possible to match directories using a wildcard? For example:
would match all files in the directories:   I saw that you can
pass a file filter to the GetFiles method, but that applies to
files only, not directory names.  share|improve this question
add comment  1 Answer  up vote 5 down vote accepted  You have an
overload for this which allows you to specify a search pattern
or if you need to specify search options there's another
overload:  foreach (string directory in
Directory.GetDirectories(sourcePath, "di*"))     // whatever
share|improve this answer I believe that is a file filter and
does not allow for use of wildcards when specifying the
directory. Wouldn't your example only get files that start with
di in a specific directory. –  Abe Miessler Sep 2 '11 at 16:31
@Abe Miessler, no, it works with directory names pe
