dir search multiple files
Show older comments
Hello,
I am using the dir command to search a folder for specific file types. I am looking for both *.jpg and *.png files. How do I structure my statement so that I can search for both file types?

I think that might be the only option on MS Windows.
On OS-X or Linux there might be an additional more obscure method,
dir('*.{jpg,png}')
This should NOT be expected to work on MS Windows.
