Searching for files on disk

User provides a path and a name of a file, but a file with the name exactly as the user provided might not exist. However a very similar file exists. It might also happen that the file user asks for and a very similar one exist. How can I search for files with names similar to what the user asks for and if there are a few similar files -- open the one created the latest.

RE: searching for files on disk

You could use the Like operator (check it out in online Help), which will match with a pattern. For example, the pattern "ABC*" matches all strings which start with "ABC".
