Folder Name wildcards (? and *)

[Mike Trader]

I want to search the CURDIR$ for any folders with CME at the end of the name
For example
SP_CME
ND_CME

so i used
PathAndMask = CURDIR$ + "\???CME\*.*"
hFind = FINDFIRSTFILE(BYVAL STRPTR(PathAndMask), wfd)
This does not work.
Are wildcards only for filenames?

I would hazard a guess that you have too many levels of wildcards in the PathAndMask string.

PathAndMask = CURDIR$ + "\???CME\*.*"

should probably be:

PathAndMask = RTRIM$(CURDIR$, "\") + "\???CME"
