Now,we need to address the following things in that to complete req,
1) If I enter filename_mmddyyyy.txt it should fetch only files having current date in their name in mmddyyyy format.For eg. If I give test_mmddyyyy.txt in txtextension it should return only files with test_10222010.txt and not thee ones with yyyymmdd and all…Right now I am getting all the files created in the current date including the one with ordinary test.txt and also test_20101022.txt …….And the third thing filename.mdd everything is getting passed correctly but it is not fetching the file ..Again test,test_20101022.txt everything comes.It shouldn’t be like that it should only fetch files with .mdd (current date)….if we give so……Hope u got…
2) I implemented the normalfiles as u can see above.But in that there is one extra thing we need to address it is if I give ????.???,it should fetch only files like ajay.txt,siva.txt and so on…it should match exactly with the question mark .but what I am getting now is if I give ????.??? in text box I am getting files like nks.txt,nk.tt also…..all lesser files are coming …..? Should match exactly with letters also in extension.
Hope you got……If we address the above things then we are done.
And please help me in this final step..we are almost done…


In my above code i have two text boxes one for file path and other one for getting extension and also for gettting file names with diff search criteria.....What i do is i should implement file search which is like as mentioned below -
1) it should search for all files if i enter *.*,only jpg if *.jpg, and files like nks.txt if i enter ???.???.......
2) if i enter the filename alone without extn it should return me filenames that exist without extension in directories.
3) the final thing is the date in filename where my file will be like filename_mmddyyyy.txt or filename_yyyymmdd.txt or filename.mdd.In first case it should return only files with current date in mmddyyyy format and txt extn....like taht....last case is mdd in extn...where if i enter filename.123,it sould get me files with jan 23(23 currnt date) and for months greater than 9 it is N for nov ,D for dec and so on.But in m,ytext box i will enter only file.mdd only .and also filename_mmddyyyy.jpg like that....
