String matching with filenames -
Hello again,
OK, so, again, I'm looking to open reports that are created on a daily basis, and have the format YYMMDDHH.csv, YYMMDDHH being variable, depending on when they are created. I am creating a form that allows a date selection using a datepicker (short format), and I take the slashes out and shuffle the mm/dd/yy around to be yymmdd. Since I am only giving a date range option, I need to ignore the HH part of the filename. Now, I know that
Code:
properFileName = year + month + day + * + ".csv"
won't work. dir() does allow wildcards, but not quite sure how the heck I would (if I can) ignore the last two characters of the filename I'm trying to open with this TextFieldParser(there will be no two files with the same date). Does anyone have any input on this, or maybe a better way to do it? I've been stalled on this for a while now, and and very open to suggestions. As usual, thanks a ton!
Code:
month = fileNameAsInt.ToString.Substring(0, 2)
day = fileNameAsInt.ToString.Substring(2, 2)
year = fileNameAsInt.ToString.Substring(4, 2)
properFileName = year + month + day + ".csv" '?????????

Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.TextFieldParser("C:\Documents and Settings\Patrick Brooks\Desktop\BIOSOLIDS 080708\" + properFileName)
