I have been using that since a while but I just realized there is a behavior I was not aware of.

Let's say I have this code:
            Dim loDirectory As New DirectoryInfo(cDirectory)
            Dim loFile As FileInfo

            ' Get all the files in the directory
            For Each loFile In loDirectory.GetFiles(cFilter)
                ...
            Next
...with cFilter equals to "*.crp", this would retreive the files with extension "crp". But, if I have some files with a filename such as "MyFile.crp2", this would be retrieved as well. It might have been a coincidence I didn't see that before. How can I assure that a filter to "*.crp", would only retrieve those files and not files with a name such as "MyFile.crp2"?
