How can i get all the files that DO NOT start with "Something"?

The line below fetches all files that start with Cake. 

Dim fi As System.IO.FileInfo() = di.GetFiles("Cake*")

How can i write the search pattern to get all the files, that do not start with Cake?

Solution

  • This will be in C#, but it should get you close.

    FileInfo fi[] = di.GetFiles();
var doNotFiles = fi.Where(file => !file.Name.StartsWith("Cake"));
