directory.getfiles(path, "*.htm") finds .htm and .html files
same if you are looking for .c it finds .css also

is there a fuction that just gets the file extention specified?

AFter reading the doc it looks like i will have to try a different
approach

i want the user to be able to search for *.htm and only get the files
that have an htm extention not the html files. so i will have to add
some code to see if they only want the htm files and just return
thoses.

if you have any suggestions please let me know

One way -
This Mainpages folder contains a mix of files with .htm & .html extensions.

The resulting displayed listbox displays only the files with the .htm extensions.

Dim di As New DirectoryInfo("E:\Web Projects\Mainpages")
Dim fi As FileInfo() = di.GetFiles("*.htm")
For Each fiTemp As FileInfo In fi
If fiTemp.Extension = ".htm" Then
Me.ListBox1.Items.Add(fiTemp.Name)
End If
Next

what i am trying to do is something similar to the search that windows
does to find files and folders. I am putting a start directory and
want to find all the file (including the files in the sub folders) so i
can write each line to a master file. i have it working but it uses
loops and it extremely slow. Is there a function that grabs all the
files from a folder and subdirecies?

Do it Like this
FileInfo Myfile = new FileInfo(strFiles[i]);
if (Myfile.Extension.Length==4)
{

}
