How to do the pattern?

[yxq]

Hello,
I want to get the strings that match c*.txt ( * means asterisk wildcard)
from some strings below:

c1234.txt
1234.txt
a1234.exe
cqwer.txt
casd.txt

I want to use regular or function, do not want to use if....then...
How to do?

Thank you

Check out the documentation of VB's 'Like' operator.

"regular expressions" are another technique to be aware of. in this case
the regular expression is "^c".

Get this tool and play with it. It will even generate the code for doing
evaluating a regular expression for you.
