Hi!

I need to search for a file, in a directory, but the files names are like: 123456_otherthings.
I only know the 123456 part of the string. My question is, How can I find the file witch contains 123456?

I am looking forward to your answers.

you can use this. it will return new list which contains your parameter

C#

string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(your_file_path);
List<string> _files = files.ToList<string>();

 _files = _files.FindAll(delegate(string s)
{
        return s.Contains(your_search_parameter);
 });</string></string>

These might help:
How to find the file by its partial name?[^]
IN c# how to get file names starting with a prefix from resource folder[^]

I found them on Google - find file name starts with c#[^]. Google also helped me by suggesting search query while I was typing find by file name c#.

Please do search before you ask.
