I want to filter directories and files by what they start with.



var result =  DirectoryList(arguments.path, false, "query", 
arguments.filter & "*|" & arguments.filter & "*.*");


I am thinking this covers all scenarios because file sometimes don't have extensions and directories sometimes do. I don't think it can be simplier
