Physical paths only

I can't remember if you can use wildcards

Hi

I have a set of files in a specific folder that are named like this...

MedicalMeeting_f1_85.pdf
MedicalMeeting_f2_85.pdf
MedicalMeeting_f1_87.pdf
MedicalMeeting_f2_87.pdf

The Number at the end is my ID.

So when it comes to deleting these files I hoped this would work...

dim fs
Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

if fs.FileExists("/vpo/documentlibrary/medicalmeetings/MedicalMeeting_f1_" &

strID & ".doc") then

fs.DeleteFile("/vpo/documentlibrary/medicalmeetings/MedicalMeeting_f1_" &
strID & ".doc")

end if
set fs=nothing

But it's not working. Can you use virtual paths with FileExist & DeleteFile

or do I have to use a physical path. Also some files will be PDFs, others
DOCs etc. How can I use a wildcard for the last bit? IE

fs.DeleteFile("/vpo/documentlibrary/medicalmeetings/MedicalMeeting_f1_" &
strID & "*")

TIA
Paul
