How to verify a downloaded file with dynamic File name

Question

I have to verify a downloaded file but some part of the file name keeps on changing while the other part remains constant.(eg Test1534. Test5462, Test5363)Your help on this would be appreciated...

Did you see the method&nbsp;FindFiles, which searches a folder for files matching the specified pattern?
&nbsp;
You need to write a function to&nbsp;retrieve a list of files matching your pattern. The file with the latest date, implies it's the latest downloaded file.&nbsp;

Use&nbsp;aqFileSystem Object Methods&nbsp;to&nbsp;retrieve list of files, together with using the appropriate method to get the latest file information.

This doesn't cater my requirement as none of the methods in aqFileSystem Object Methods accepts a partial file name. If for instance, my file name is TestFile399766. So the path I am bound to provide is "C:\\MyFiles\\TestFile399766.xlsx". I want something that would work as a 'contains check' e.g.

"C:\\MyFiles\\TestFile*.xlsx"

Yes, by using a combination of FindFiles and other methods, I was able to get to the file.Thanks rraghvani
