Hi,

Try like this,

C#

var dirs = from dir in 
           Directory.EnumerateDirectories(dirPath, "C:\\*folder*",
           SearchOption.AllDirectories)
           select dir;

it will return you the folders that matches the pattern.

it is giving the following error on this statement.
Microsoft VBScript compilation error: Expected end of statement
could you please tell me what is this "from dir in" statement?
