| Description |
The GetFileSystemEntries method returns an array of strings that hold the absolute paths of the files and directories in the specified absolute or relative PathString directory. Optionally, this list may be limited by the Filter string.
The array size is dynamically set by this method.
This filter string may contain valid file name characters, but may not have consecutive . characters. Use * wildcard to represent a sequence of 0 or more characters, and ? to represent a single character.

| | Notes | Static methods are not methods of an object - they are simply class functions or procedures available at any time.
