Problem with recursive file listing functions

[barrykellett]

The below snippet of code:

If includeFiles Then
For Each pattern As String In filePattern.Split(";"c)
al.AddRange(dirInfo.GetFiles(pattern))
Next
End If

Gives the error:
Compiler Error Message: BC30451: Name 'pattern' is not declared.

Source Error:

Line 39: If includeFiles Then
Line 40: ' a distinct search for each pattern in the list
Line 41: For Each pattern As String In filePattern.Split(";"c)
Line 42: al.AddRange(dirInfo.GetFiles(pattern))
Line 43: Next


I got the code here:

Can someone please help me get this working

What if you declare the variable before and then loop thr the array the split leaves in teh string...
